Completely random question

Because the board is ridiculously slow on the weekends.

If you go out to dinner and for whatever reason, gratuity is included in your bill, do you still give a tip or do you consider the gratuity as your servers tip?

Re: Completely random question

  • Say for instance you have a party of 6 or more. The server grats you between 18-20%. That is the servers tip.

    If it is a big group, and the server did a good job, or a very large group and there are two servers we add more. If the server just felt like grat-ing us b/c we look like we wouldn't tip, that's all they get...

  • If they add it on the bill, then I usually don't tip any more. Unless it was some stellar service, of course.
  • if it was amazing service, or if I didn't realize it was already included (like this past Thursday night!), then I tip extra.  Otherwise, if they want to include it then they need to be happy with what it is!

  • MH always says that when they include it themselves they actually end up getting less because it's usually only 18% and we would have left them more. That being said, like everyone else said, if the service was so-so I would just leave it included, if they were wonderful I'd put down extra.
  • This actually happened to us on Saturday night b/c we were with a group of 16 people. I normally leave more than the 18% that was included on the bill so I added in $5 on top of that b/c our waitress did a great job considering what a large party we had. If the service would have been just okay then I doubt I would have left extra.
