EPTThe people should never be forced to pay a tip. I typically pay it, maybe paying less if service is less, but if someone chooses to skip the tip because of shitty service they should not end up in the back of a police car.

In Australia, where tipping just isn't done (a study lsat year showed something like 3% of Australians tip), the reason boils down to the waiters getting paid quite well - they don't need the tips to survive. The same isn't true in the US, so regardless of the service, I feel you have to tip - in 99% of cases it isn't the fault of the waiter if the service is slow, its usually the floor manager, other customers or kitchen staff. So cut the poor guys/girls some slack. Nonetheless, the notion of a 'mandatory gratuity' is quite laughable. | ||

If you're legally required to 'tip' at a place, don't call it a tip, just add it to the base price. It's obviously nothing resembling a 'gratuity' or a 'tip'. | ||

So if they were in groups of 4 and asked to be seated close to each other than they can skip out on the tip because their party is less than 6? | ||

Mandatory gratuities are all over the place, it's not the restaurant's fault that the customers are too dumb to understand the word "mandatory". The name of the thread should be "group arrested for not paying bill" since it was a normal part of the bill for large groups. | ||

It's VERY COMMON for large groups to be charged a mandatory gratuity. The restaurant apparently needed the cops to deal with unruly customers. You can't just pay for part of the bill and refuse to pay the rest. | ||
