    If anyone adds a 20% tip on my bill in this country, I’m asking for the whole thing to be removed.

    Especially at a high end restaurant. Absolute embarrassment that an establishment like that can’t pay their staff properly and have to make them pan handle the customers.

    Failed country behaviour

      and it’s not like their customers care that much about price, they could increase their prices by 20% and have just as many people showing up. But nope, they decide to introduce a shameful tipping culture instead.

        He did increase the prices by 20%, he just did it in a way that passes the blame on to his employees.

              If someone refuses to pay the tip it doesn’t affect the owner. It hurts the waiter/waitress.

                I am just imagining the logistics of this.

                If the table bought $100 of food and the bill added a 20% service charge, and the party puts down $100 and leaves, refusing to pay the rest, I think that is larceny and a crime, and they could be charged.
