He runs his card… and notices the total is higher than expected.
The waiter calmly explains: “We automatically add a 25% gratuity to all dinner checks.” Yes it’s his son but..does he do this to all customers?
No large party. No warning beforehand. Just built-in tip.
Now the debate starts.
Some say — restaurants are struggling, servers deserve guaranteed pay, and this avoids stiffing.
Others say — a tip is supposed to be optional. Once it’s mandatory, isn’t it just a fee? And shouldn’t customers clearly agree to it before ordering, not after the bill arrives?
So what do you think:
Should customers always have the chance to choose the tip amount… or is automatic gratuity fair in today’s restaurant world?
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.
