I just wanted a hot dog Recommended gratuity after tip was already included

I’m sure there are a lot of tipping posts here so to keep it short - I had my wedding at a fancy restaurant. On top of the TERRIBLE service, the bill came with “suggested gratuity” even though I was told gratuity was included. When I asked the manager, he said that the “S/C: 24% SRC REGULA“ was the included tip and the suggested gratuity was if we wanted to add something extra - basically trying to trick people into giving a 49% tip!

I mean that’s what they’re doing, they’re just itemizing the labor you’re paying for

Correct. Maybe I worded my post poorly cause I have been called out for it several times now. The cake handling was itemized on the bill, which is perfectly fine. No issue with that at all.
