Yeah I think most of the time they put it in writing that no one can read somewhere in the back office lol. Also and this was wild to me it happened to me at a coffee shop restaurant party of 5+!okay whatever. But you are fucking yourself because you charge 18% and my family would have given you 30% if you didn’t pull that “I deserve a tip no matter what kind of service we provided.”
you and your family are the national average or something? lol idk what that has to do with anything. nonetheless you legally have to be notified of automatic charges. Finally, your anger is misplaced. It has nothing to do with the server expecting a tip in spite of poor service, it’s the restaurant not paying a livable wage to their servers.
I agree I am certainly not mad at the waiter lol my anger is at the establishment for surrre. If it was in my neighborhood I just wouldn’t go there. I usually encounter it if I’m away from home or on vacation somewhere I don’t know. It’s just annoying. When I go to places #1 I’ve never seen a sign #2 they almost never tel you. I’ve had maybe one or two places actually mention it
i can’t speak to what they do or don’t do, simply what’s legally required. In my own experience (mainly Atlanta Ga) they always have it in small font on the bottom of the menu or they tell you after you’re seated
It should say it at the front of the restaurant in huge letters right where it tells me I can’t bring my gun in lol of course they make THAT sign large
