Funny story.
the 1st time I had ever seen where gratuity was added by the establishment.
I was with my GF at the time. & we met her family at an outback. Total we probably had 10-12 people there. the table was split between 3 or 4 tabs though.
However they had a rule if there were x amount of people at the table they automatically added gratuity into the bill. This was never explained when we ordered either.
End of the meal I get our bill & look & see it says gratuity added. Now at this point I had never seen this before. So I look at her dad & ask. Does this mean they already added in their tip? Meaning now I dont have to tip? He reads his bill & says looks that way. Now until now I always assumed gratuity was optional. I grew up with many in the industry, so I was a good tipper. So I figured ok well their loss.
But my GF didnt let it go. She asked the waitress when she came & collected our CC's. Why they added their own tip to the bill. She explained when a party is a certain size they automatically do this. My GF then looked at her & said well you fucked up because he is a good tipper & so is my Dad. LOL the lady looked at me & said well you can add more to the tip if you like. (I dont even know what they added in the 1st place) I said. no. You took it upon yourself to tip yourselves what you felt you deserved. I am good with that...... But you did fuck up.
Think that might've been the 1st time I seen the expectation of tips instead of the appreciation of tips.
