As a customer I like being able to increase or withold tip amounts based on service.

I dunno - the Italian method is similar (coperto/servizio included in your total) and we've rarely had service in the US like we found in Italy, regardless of whether the establishment was a little bar or a fancy osteria. I think the key is for the employers to pay the servers well, and make it their absolute responsibility to be of good service, or find a new job.

(Or maybe just to be Italian.)

I agree that setting up something standard for bill-paying would be a great idea. This has happened too often. Maybe it's something as simple as always getting a single bill, electing the evening's "accountant" and not letting any party members leave without the accountant's sign-off.

I was talking to KS last night and we were thinking that a good way to make sure the bill is always covered is as the bill goes around people should initial their food/drinks and then write down (on the back) what they are putting in.

We were on a seperate check, but I wouldn't mind flipping $5 or $10 to Kevy.

innerSpaceman · 04-27-2009, 07:45 PM

Kevy, please set up a P.O. Box, and we will mail checks or cash or disney dollars or chits.

I wasn't even there and I'll help out, because Kevy/Susan shouldn't have to pick up the difference every time that the LoT group eats out!

Ditto

Reading the Disney AP Site it seems Ralph Brennans has a maximum discount of $40 so that might be a contributing factor for someone assuming the normal 10%

NirvanaMan · 04-27-2009, 09:08 PM

Hmm, they took the normal 10% off our bill.

Big update, they charged Aud's debit card an additional $110!!!

wolfy999 · 04-27-2009, 09:13 PM

OMG...tell Audra to dispute the charge!

NirvanaMan · 04-27-2009, 10:26 PM

Updated the wrong thread. Aud called the Jazz and all should be taken care of by Wed.
