Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
Better wages wouldn't really work in the food industry. It's a tough racket, and restauranteurs typically couldn't afford to pay the wait staff minimum wage. And raising the menu prices would mean less customers and eventually less customers eating out.
>> ^blankfist:
That aside, when these customers sat down to order they agreed to the mandatory tip.
In my view, when the restaurant adds a compulsory 18% increase to the menu price but doesn't put that on the menu so that the prices seem cheaper, it's nothing short of fraud, even if every single restaurant out there does the same. It's all right to defend the plight of the restaurant owner who adds an oxymoronic mandatory gratuity, but when you purposefully hide the added cost on the menu, you're not exactly innocent.
>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
...when you exchange money for a product, and then consume the product, you shouldn't have a right to a discount or refund just because you didn't like the product or how it was served...
Also, if a tip becomes mandatory, then it isn't really a tip anymore, it's part of the agreed-upon cost.
How are you not entitled to an opinion of the product you received? If a gratuity is included in the bill, that implies that the service itself is a product. The same point I made to blankfist applies here, imo. If you bill the customer for the service but hide it from the menu cost of the food, why is it assumed that the customer knows about the 18% gratuity before receiving the bill? Is there a big sign at the entrance saying "18% mandatory gratuity. Beware, all ye who enter here"?
My main point has already been made by others. If you make something mandatory, it's no longer a tip or a gratuity, even if you call it that.

Woman has 300 Orgasms a day! Finds Mr. Right
If this woman is in fact having a full sexual orgasm every few minutes, then she has some remarkable self control and is delibarately avoiding expressing it outwards so she wouldn't offend others. The only reason she talks about it is because she's being interviewed on that, specifically.
So, you're wrong. Na na na na na na!
P.S. I might be a little drunk, but this response seems about right.
