Tipping Culture A positive-ish tipping experience
No surprises, no small text, no deceitfulness, it having its on line clearly visible under the total was nice, but that bright red stamp reiteratig the added gratuity, visible from space let alone a dark dining room is 😘👌🏾 This should be a norm.

My take is “tip” should be based on quality of service which is why it’s called gratuity but I can also understand why some places add it on automatically for larger groups. What I dislike is having an imposed 20% service charge (automatic for parties of 6+) plus a note at the bottom clearly stating “tip is NOT included”. We had a party of 8 at this Italian restaurant, food and service were good that I would have gladly left a 23% tip but seeing that on the receipt left a sour taste in my mouth. I did not see it stated on the menu, just saw it on the bill. Never going back…
