We are a family of 6 and it annoys me to no end that a baby counts as a sixth person, even one who is in a baby sling. Someone give me some rational for that...... Anyway we had 7-9 TS during our April trip and only once did I ask for the manager to adjust the tip. We were at Boma and although the server was very nice we only saw her twice, drink order and check. I flagged down another server after my 2 yr old sat and rather loudly let everyone know she needed ketchup for 10 minutes. The rest of the time I had no issues with the 18% and on a few occassions let more for excellent service. I have no issue tipping it just P***** me off that a baby that takes up no space ie no high chair or booster seat is added in the party total. Its just aggravating and takes time out of my vacation to take to a manager about a less than adequate server.
I would guess they count a baby in a sling as there is no guarantee that a baby will stay in a sling for the whole meal. What should they do if someone takes their baby out partway thru the meal?
