Totally understandable to me, but I don't recall it happening after getting lunch with my golf groups that are sometimes up to 20...so go figure.  |
I am aware of some restaurants adding a gratuity to a bill when a large group is charged for multiple meals on a single bill. But, in this case, each person placed a separate order with a server and received their own individual bill with a 20 percent gratuity added to it. The idea to charge an automatic gratuity removes all descretion from the customer. In my opinion, any tipping should be voluntary and based on the quality of the service received.
