>me and group of friends are regulars at a restaurant
>6-8 of us go there every Thursday for their wing special and order a bunch of drinks and too much food
>each of us always leaves a 25% tip or more because we get great service and want to support this place we frequent so often
>one week we get a new waitress
>she's garbage: never pays attention to us, doesn't ask if we want more drinks, ignores when we try to wave her down
>as we're waiting for our checks we're all discussing our tips
>everyone agrees that because she's new and the place is busy we should give her a break and tip at least 15-20% each
>look at receipt: "8% forced gratuity applied"
>we all look at each other and laugh
>"Well, if that's what she thinks her service is worth, who are we to argue?"
>leave no additional tip
>never tip that entitled bitch in the future
>continue tipping every other server the normal 25%+ each week
That was the first time I ever saw a forced gratuity on a restaurant bill, but from that day on any time I see it I make a mental note and never tip that person again. Sorry, you made a bet and you lost.
