Has anyone been in 2008 w/a large party and automatic tip?

[bless7ings]

Can someone that has been w/ a party of 6 or more tell me how it is working?

Also has anyone experienced if they didn't want to pay the 18% how that goes?

I'm not sure what your question is. I think the answer depends on what you mean by "if they didn't want to pay the 18%."

If there was an issue with service, the thing to do would be to speak to a manager and express your concerns. If your complaint was reasonable, I'm sure they'd have no problem making an adjustment in the gratuity. (Please keep in mind, however, that a LOT of the service issues we have in restaurants are not really the fault of the server.)

OTOH, if someone simply didn't want to pay the 18% because they thought it was too high, or they didn't agree with the concept of a mandatory gratuity, I think they'd be out of luck.

The 18% for parties of 6 or more or any size party using the DDE is non-negotiable, it is added tot he bill.

If there is an issue with service, take it up with the manager. Otherwise, it is added to the bill.

Hope that answers your question,

I think he wants to know if ithe automatic gratuity is actually being implemented. I also would like to know from someone whom has been recently. I understand the talking to the manager etc. but I would like to know from someone whom has been are they actually implementing the automatic gratuity.

Yes, all servers are following the new guidelines for adding 18%, and as to when. If they don't, they can get in trouble, and lose their job.
