If you order OOP for meal or drink and it isnt on the dining plan, how do you pay?

[Iluvthemouse]

Say you would like a Pina Colada at Shutters? Can you pay cash at the end and use your TS credits for the appet/meals/dessert and ice tea? Do you get a seperate receipt?
Also if you pay OOP for a childs meal you get a different receipt, right?

 

[bicker]

Cash, room charge, or credit card. What I learned earlier this week is that that separate bill will likely include the standard 18% gratuity.

 

[Sammie]

Yes you will get a seperate bill and yes it will automatically have the 18% tip added on.

 

[michellelovesthemous]

Stupid quesation here...when you say 18% grat that means only for the bill paid oop correct?? That doesn't mean the gratuity for both bill together does it??? Don't laugh either I did preface it with "stupid ?"

 

[WAHMto5]

We always just bill it to our room.

 

[magsmom]

You can pay however you want. I was sometimes not sure as I had disney dollars and rewards to use, and usually I just asked for the bill. You will get a separate receipt with the tip added on.

No question is ever stupid! Yes the 18% on the OOP is only for the OOP portion. You get two receipts and the 18% for the DDP is on that receipt.

Last month, our OOP receipts always included the 18% gratuity, even the one for 2 glow ice cubes at Corla Reef.

Two weeks ago we had several additional checks because of things not included (alcohol, mini wedding cake, etc.)...and the 18 % was NOT added to our checks. We paid our gratuity separately.

Oh my god! So even if I order an $8 drink, it will have 18% gratuity added on??

Call me cheap, but I don't take well to giving people an 18% tip just to pour me a drink!!

 

[EnnEss]

That's cheap, im sorry to say. I'm very glad they add the tip on. 18 percent on 8 dollars is very little anyways. I can't imagine the amount of people that would somehow justify not tipping because of the prices Disney charge or something to that effect.

I agree. If the drink is good and brought to me promptly, I have no problem tipping them 18% percent. Customarily, I tip 20% for good service, only tipping less when the service is subpar, but never less than 15%.

I don't think so... I was using the $8 as an example - It doesnt matter what the price is... I would tip for the drink, just not 18%. It's just a drink - that's my opinion

Are you questioning the difference between 15% and 18%? or between some other amount (or nothing) and 18%?

Unless you are a group of 8 or more I don't believe they should add tip on. I should decide how much I want to tip. It's a personal decision, when it's MY money paying the bill and my group doesn't fall into the 8 or more rule. If it's added to my "extras" bill they'll get it to the penny but no more. We usually leave a little extra bumping up our tip to our usual 20-25% even when not ordering anything OOP. I don't like being treated as if this is my first time in a resturant and I don't know how and when to leave a tip. The only place we didn't leave extra was Spoodles. Waiter treated us as if we weren't good enough to eat in his resturant So although we got our food and it's was served to us we proably would not have left 18% needless to say more. I don't liek to be insulted when I'm going out to eat and if I did Disney has resturants I would have made ressies to fill that "need".
Those that would not leave a tip or not enough that's their "choice" no matter how they justify it. Unless they're going to add the 18% rule to everyone they shouldn't add when I pay OOP. What about the people who don't tip and the whole meal is not on the dining plan. Disney doesn't care there and it's most likely alot more then on the little I would order OOP.

However the "8 or more" "rule" is just a contrivance -- there is no difference between having a rule requiring a gratuity on parties of 8 or more versus having a rule requiring a grautity for any OOP purchase on the Dining Plan. We may not like the rule, but the rule itself is legit. I think there is a lot to be said for adding the gratuity in automatically, since I suspect a lot of Dining Plan guests wouldn't think that the gratuity for an add-on would have to be manually added in by them, given that everything is so mindless with the Dining Plan by default.

Have they come out and stated "Posted" this rule(anywhere but DIS) like the 8 or more rule for OOP for the dining plan?? If they have then yes they have the right to state any and all manitory tipping rules they feel like adding. If it's not posted, listed in the bourchure something to let people know it's there then they don't. They also leave that nice little card in there telling you tip is NOT included, how to tip and how much to tip. So in dealing with the "mindless by default" they get double tips . Do not tell the waitpersons are not doing this themselves and that it is a DISNEY rule.

 

[bicker]

That's actually a good point: It might not even be a rule. They could be doing it as a courtesy (like the courtesy of including trip insurance in vacation packages), and the guest can adult or remove the gratuity themselves. There is no rule against doing so.
