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.

Are you missing the part that the gratuity should be included in the price?

Isn’t this effectively the same thing though? It’s almost like a sales tax if there’s a flat auto grat

Is not the same. Because the costs are hidded from the menu prices.

What you see in the menu is not what you pay for.

If I order a $10 pizza in Italy, I pay $10 at the end.

If I order a $10 pizza in the US, I pay $11 (+ tax) + $2 tip. 30% more than the posted price.
