The Cellar - View Single Post - Restaurant customer arrested for crime of undertipping

The 18% was a tip for the restaurant itself?? That's the first time I've ever heard of that. I always thought that 18% went into a Tip Pool of some sort and was distributed among the waitstaff. Bollocks to that. That sounds a bit like racketeering to me, if they're going to apply an automatic 18% tip on your total just for having a high total. That doesn't give the customer any choice.
