Explain that to the managers AND employees of the restaurants in the villages that engage in this practice. I tried explaining it to one of the hostesses, she said this is how her manager does it, this is how her paycheck is cut, and if she wants better she has to find a better job. Which - she is in the process of trying to do. She's not the only one who's made comments about this practice, and it isn't the first restaurant I've heard about that does it.
Just like it's against the law to drive your non-street-legal golf cart 21mph - good luck enforcing it.
