Do you think restaurants should be allowed to automatically factor in a 20% tip on your bill?

No because that would remove the waiter’s incentive to provide excellent service.

yeah it’s optional a few place around here do that normally if your more than 4 people. i never pay it if it’s added in. i minis it from total and leave that on table. i’m insulted when they do that and refuse to be a part of it

but i always tip my server and tip them well i never leave less than 5 even if all i do is have a cup of coffee the smallest i ever drop is a dollar with normally sharpy on it stateing why they only got a dollar

nope ..because service differ from one place to another

No i don’t think it’s right. How about if the waitress don’t deserve a 20% tip but you have to give it to her anyways. It’s stupid !

No nat at all. If i have sh!tty service then they dont deserve tip that big or one at all

No. I tip depending on quality of the service. If it’s crappy service, I don’t tip them.

The system in the US is that wait people are underpaid assuming they will make tips. The first 15% you give your waitperson really isn’t tip; it is part of their pay. The real tip is how much above 15% you tip. If your waitperson is simply not doing their job than you might stiff them but otherwise 15% is the minimum that is fair. I dislike restaurants who automatically tack tips on for large parties. Seems presumptuous to me and to tell the truth it hurts them because I almost always tip more than the mandatory tip but when the tip is automatic I don’t pay more.

NOPE - I have been to many restaurants that added the 20% charge - very frustrating, especially taking my right away to tip or not to tip - what should be done is we should all write our congress and senate to do away with that law about taxing waiter/waitresses tips. I live in florida and know alot of waitresses and they do make good money ($150 per night on average) but they only work a few nights and having to put up with rude customers with a smile isnt fun - but this is a service and tourist state so we live with what we can find for work. And yes most make little to nothign in wages - they are the only class of workers whos wages are set BELOW minimum wage - which I believe here is $7.65 not 100% sure.

Absolutely not, I refuse to give a tip to a bad waitress or waiter

Absolutely not,

I don’t think they should add it in at all.
