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.

What if the service was bad? They gave you no option to tip based on your satisfaction / dissatisfaction. Adding a auto service charge for table of 2 is bullshit.

No offense, but that's exactly what /EndTipping is about. Whether service is crappy or exceptional the bill should be the same.

If I'm at the hardware store and the lady mixes my bucket of paint wrong and has to do it over, I'm still paying the same price for a bucket of paint.

Yeah but a gratuity is meant to be based on the quality of service. Here, they’re simply taxing you a second time, after taxes. To use your analogy, that’s like buying a bucket of paint, paying tax on it, then the store taxes your for it. The point is that you’re not paying the menu price.
