No one is forcing anyone else to do anything and it is still our own individual choice, whether to tip or not...and how little or how much.
However, what's not an 'opinion,' is the math percentage mistake made on the receipt...by the restaurant the OP described.
That it is a mistake, is simply... a fact.
And in spite of some opinions in our country these days to the contrary, I personally believe that while everyone is entitled to their opinion(s)... facts are still facts. |
The 'Suggested gratuity" at the restaurant the op referred to is an opinion as well, no one is being forced to pay it. They are just sharing their "opinion" with you. Whether the restaurant's suggestion or "opinion" is based on the bill pre tax or not does not make it a fact. It is still just an "opinion" that cannot be forced by law, same as the "opinion" of posters telling us what they think is the correct tip.
