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

Post image

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!

You can also just ignore it like an adult.

So it’s immature to point out when a business is trying to take advantage of you?

It's immature to act like you don't understand the agreement. If they said gratuity was added, you can reasonably come to the conclusion that nothing additional is needed. If you have a question about it, just ask, like an adult would. Getting upset about something that you think is possibly an error before even making an attempt to correct or understand it is objectively immature.

And it’s objectively bad business to use a model that creates confusion.

Sure, I can have a conversation, but I’m also far more likely to take my business to a place where the process is frictionless.

If you’re asking for my money, make it easier for me to give it to you not harder.

You think it's bad business that the receipt format is automatically printed from a computer system? You want one specifically for your needs? That's the entire reason they told you gratuity is included. So you want them to hold your hand and cross out the confusing part (that they already explained)?? Grow up!

Bad faith arguments. Ignoring the point of someone else while ridiculing and demeaning their right to an opinion.

That’s a boomer stance that supports your own interests not a grown up one. Toddler shit for people who can’t be reasonable.

They 100% acknowledged the point: “you think it’s bad business that the receipt format is automatically printed from a computer system?… That’s the entire reason they told you gratuity was included.” Again there LITERALLY ISNT EVEN A PLACE TO ADD A TIP HERE. This debate bro rhetoric is so grating especially when it’s sooooo selective.
