guy who was arrested for not tipping has charges dropped
http://www.wnbc.com/money/3729682/detail.html
The 41-year-old Long Island man was arrested Labor Day weekend when the restaurant owner accused him of not leaving an 18 percent gratuity required for large parties. Taveras said he wasn't aware of the policy -- and wouldn't have left that much money anyway because he and his friends weren't happy with the service. He said he left about a 12 percent tip on a $71 bill. He added the service was slow and the food was not that good. |

I think the restaraunt should have let it slide, in the long run it will probably cost them more money in lost customers than the tip could have ever been worth.

Come on baddog and all you other fuckers saying it was right.
"The Warren County District Attorney's Office said a restaurant patron can't be forced to leave a gratuity. Prosecutors said establishments have to call it a service charge -- not a tip -- in order to make it a mandatory add-on charge." Just like I said biatches.

How the fuck can they arrest someone when the extra charge is NOT part of the total on the bill? If it's not on my bill then why should I pay it or even have to know anything about it?

That's just one small towns opinion of their law...every state has different laws. And regardless...it's in the TOS...all they have to do now is say for parties of 6 or more you will be charged a "service" charge of 18%. Just a rewording of the TOS to fit the law. |

You know what really sucks?
You go to a pizza place and the choice for pizza and drinks are Medium, Large, Extra Large. News flash: In order to have a size called "medium", it has to be the MIDDLE size... Bring back size Small! Rally to my call! Well it's annoying to me anyway... carry on.. |

I refuse to leave a tip for a shit ass waitress and I really wouldn't care what the law said. Any service person worth a damn makes more money than most of the TGP kiddies around here.

Locals love it when people give shit to outsiders. My grandmother lived in a town of 19,000. Blockbuster not only moved in but they decided to move in across the street from the local video store to put them out of business. The town's not huge, but there were plenty of places they could have put the new Blockbuster without looking like it was coming in for an attack. People boycotted that sucker...the local video store dropped it's rentals on movies that were not new releases to 50 cents and 99 cents and within a year Blockbuster packed up and left..they have never returned..it's been about 7 or 8 years now. |

I dont think madatory tipping is right, even if they call it a service charge. if the service is good, then I tip good. If the service sucks ass, then so does the tip.

I thought this was common sense. As I mentioned earlier, there is no such thing as a Mandatory Tip. A tip by definition is OPTIONAL. If it's a mandatory charge it's called a bill or a tax. Thank goodness the law really does work sometimes. This "tip" was a charge and not a tip. They need to state this CHARGE instead of using the "tip" bs to get extra money for nothing.
It's an underhanded unprofessional way of doing business. |

If you show up to a restaurant with a larger than normal party and the staff does everything in their power to seat you in a timely fashion and together *which is not always the easiest thing to do* by pulling tables together, chairs causing a distraction to other guests and then take care of you and your large party and you can't find it in your heart to tip them more than 15% you're a cheap fucking bastard.

Put up the same business right next door or across the street or whatever.. and whore the shit out of whatever it is the bad guys pack up and leave. Then someone local can provide those goods or services, treat their employees right (pay more than minimum wage, and offer bonuses, healthcare etc) AND keep much more of the money within the local economy. Long live the american dream |

Service was great, so I left the 15% tip they tacked on and told the server in front of his manager he would have gotten much more if his prick of a boss hadn't put it on the bill.

I tip 20 percent. I do this for three reasons:
1) I was a waiter. This idealogy explains why many celebrities tip well. 2) You can't blame the waiter for everything. Most people who blame the waiter are cheap. The guy had nine friends and a $70 bill, lets think about that. He said the food was bad, I will go out on a limb here and say the waiter probably did not cook the food. Just a guess. 3) I have class. We can argue class as much as you like, but not tipping is an indication of not having class. Seeing that you were all on the Oprah Winfrey bandwagon this week, check out her episode on tipping some time. It is an act of "class." Poor service should be handled differently. I have both taken out clients for dinner and been taken out myself, tipping is without question a major role in someone's character. Take a girl out to dinner, pay the bill, and go to the restroom. Many girls will look to see if you tipped As far as arresting the guy, that is a bit much. Waiters and waitresses take the good with the bad. That is life. Putting a mandatory tip on you because you look young is a part of life. I have had it happen as well. But I assure you, in Newport and many places in Hollywood, I rarely get the "Mandatory" tip placed on me. In the long run, tipping pays off.

20% is too high anyways. Unless the service was excellent i only give 15%. If it was crappy then 10%
I think the whole tipping this is out of hand anyways. People expect too much. |

But see I can understand why they have this gratuity charge.
Why? Because in the past 4 months I've been to about 5 dinners with adult webmasters and out of 2 of those the parties were huge and the waiters wereso busy dealing with us it was apparent they had difficulty in taking care of other tables. And when it came time to pay the bill....people were leaving without paying their share or attemtping to..the waiters spent seriously a ridiculous amount of time going around and collecting from each person. At one dinner I ended up spending $80 on 2 hamburgers 2 sodas and one appetizer..just to pick up the slack of someone else. At another dinner I didn't do that. I just asked the waiter to put my order on a seperate bill which came to roughly $12 and gave him $20 and told him to keep the change. People are cheap...and maybe one of the reasons a waiter at some point may seem snippy is because he/she knows those cheap ass fucks filling up the table asking for drink refills every 5 minutes aren't going to tip him/her anymore than the couple at another table who spent $30. |

I can't argue with you about cheap asses. I'm the type that would have embarassed them about it by calling them on it right there.

I have had people cheap out on paying their part of the bill also and I ended up making up the difference. Other times I have seen someone pay for the meal for the table, and leave a 5 buck tip on a 200 dollar bill. I always slide extra money for the tip as everyone leaves just to make sure the waitress isn't short changed because someone hates to tip.

The waiter doesn't cook the food, but he sure can bitch if things aren't as they should be. It directly affects his tips. If you're gonna be a regular, you tip well. If the service is for shit, you're not going to be a regular anyway, so fuck them and their mandatory tip. |
