FOUR? I have not seen anything under parties of 7-8 unless it was some hotel restaurant. If I even saw a mandatory tip for 4 at a non hotel place I would leave right then.

Now I know if they have it written somewhere, typically the menu. As you need to know this before you order that they can apply the charge for the mandatory tip (which is BS anyways) for larger parties even if you write 0.00 on the tip line on the receipt legally. Oddly if you do leave another tip they often piggyback the fucker anyways and apparently they can but I feel it is shady as hell.

Then again I also got nabbed hard on a mandatory tip because not only did they add a mandatory 20% to the bill on fucking piss poor service. They also took the tip from two fairly expensive bottles of wine ordered off the wine list that each were a few hundred. Forced tipping even on piss poor service is one thing, adding like a buck per drink is another, but ass fucking someone the 20% also on about 600.00 in wine charges is fucking beyond wrong.
