      Is it just me, or does being asked to tip always feel like shit? If I do tip, I feel extorted; if I don’t, I feel like the bad guy. And the very act of deciding which way I want to feel bad makes me feel tired.

      Tipping sucks.

      Lots of restaurants have it in the UK already, I always check and if it’s in the bill, I leave no extra tip regardless of how good the service was.

      Never been to any of his restaurants but I’ve seen service charges on countless bills in the ones I do visit.

      I get it removed. They can fuck off.

      I’ll be one of the first people to not eat in any of his restaurants then.

      This is a systemic issue. UK needs lesser inequality, better unions, better social security.

      And today, another example of: « I just can’t get enough »

      Worked in a restaurant in London where the service charge went to an animal charity. I love animals but c’mon 😭

      We need to push back hard against this b.s or it will become normalised.

      In his Edinburgh restaurant, I flat out refused to pay 20 %. We already ordered the most expensive thing on the menu (beef wellington). There is no way I have to pay extra on top of that just because I did not choose pasta pr burger. The server was a young inexperienced guy who also made many mistakes (which is absolutely fine but not worth so much in tips tbh).

      I said I want to lower it to 10 %. Absolute scenes. Manager came. “What happened?!?” Nothing, you are just being ridiculous. They “had to” redo their bill because the 20 % were added automatically.

      Best part was when the waiter came and told me if I want to include tip for him because the 10 (before 20)% is not for him. Wtf?

      Needless to say I will never go to any restaurant bearing this man’s name ever again.

      Wouldn’t have eaten in his restaurants before, won’t eat in them now.

      “Hey, I’m the very rich Gordon Ramsay!. I don’t want to pay my staff a fair wage so I will be making you, the paying customer, pay for it whilst I take all the profits to buy more stuff for myself.”

      One of the other chefs in the article was quoted

      “If it’s on New Year’s Eve, then maybe there’s a reason to do it.”

      Which this was, a lot of restaurants will do this on that specific day because people sit around until after midnight. I’m not taking a stance either way, but I get the feeling a lot of people just read the headline

      I was recently in London, and a number of restaurants were quitely putting a tip into the bill price as a sneaky line item. Typically 12%.

      I’ve seen that before in North America, but only for big groups, typically like 12+ people. This was for a table of 3 people.

      Completely outrageous. People need to stop standing for this bullshit.

      Why call it a “tip” or “service charge”? Raise the price if you need it, I never understood why the food industry insists on billing labor cost separately.

    27. IDontEatDill on

      As a car mechanic, I expect the same waiters to tip me 20% when I fix their car.

      As a shop cashier, I except the same waiters to tip me 20% when they buy something.

      Isn’t this the same thing? Why only restaurants get away with this?

    28. razakii on

      20% service charge added and they’ll probably still show the tip selection on the card machine

    29. Calcifer1 on

      I was in London last week and had several restaurants charge me with the “automatic service fee” of 10 or 12,5%. I asked what it was and the response was “basically it’s tip but it’s optional, and all restaurants in central London do it”

      Hâte this approach
