Yeah...this seems like a pretty dumb point.. I get to-go food so I can enjoy it at home.. I fail to see how that allows an establishment to tack on a gratuity. But hey... Keep tacking it on.. Your establishment will be out of business , with that attitude.

If a server worked a table for a non-stop 30 minutes, I might see an increase of tip.. If the server comes once to serve the order, and once to fill drinks and once to bring a check...that is um.... 5 minutes tops???  

Sheesh.

SUGGESTED TIPPING GUIDELINES FOR RESTAURANT CUSTOMERS
(servers take note)

Truly horrible service: NO TIP + complaint to manager
Server standing around in plain sight, gossiping and picking facial scabs while your party languishes from thirst and hunger, then acting resentful and put upon while carelessly flinging lukewarm food and drinks at the table

Kinda bad service: 10%
Glum and resentful; food and drinks arrive in a reasonably timely manner but server disappears entirely until the plates are empty; forced to flag down another employee for refills or condiments

Competent service: 15%
Fast, professional, friendly, cheerful and attentive, but not to the point of being irritating; orders arrive quickly

Outstanding service: 20% or higher
Competent service, as outlined above, performed with charm, style and wit; deduces the need for and provides little extras without being asked

The root word for gratuity and gratitude are the same.

Thank you.

And lest anyone think I'm against wait staff getting gratuities, I'm absolutely not.

However... I dislike auto-gratuity being added to the check for parties under six, because it creates an environment in which lazy wankers are likely to earn just as much money as the professionals who bust their butts to provide good service. That's just not fair -- not to the good servers who might otherwise get bigger tips, or to the customers who get a lazy wanker waiter and end up paying for a level of service they aren't receiving.

Anyone remember what happened to Circuit City when they went off of commission based sales? Tips are the same thing, incentive to go above and beyond, CP has just set the bar real low.

Of course, there's the question on what happens with the tip money. Let's hope Stephen reports back with facts soon...

HA!  Congrats to coredumped and metrojax!  This thread just made First coast news... second story right after the Jags naming rights story at 6pm... :o :D

No, no one contacted me. The video on the site doesn't mention metrojax or me - I missed the live broadcast but have it set to record tonight.

Yeah... the video online seems edited... they specifically metioned "coredumped" twice and metrojax once...

I wish that I had seen that story on the news.  I stopped watching local news a few years back because their 'local' coverage left a lot to be desired.

That's hilarious that the news picked up on this...too bad they aren't covering the issue of historic buildings being demolished within a historic district.
