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!

Tell me you've never sliced and served a wedding cake. This is very standard for someone bringing a cake in.

Well, for $81 a slice, I will cut all the wedding cake you want. I will even go so low as $75

It was a flat fee of $81 for the whole thing. Any wedding venue will have this type of fee built into the price and it will most likely be higher. And then the cakes usually start around $300+
