Furious staff LOCK family inside restaurant for refusing to pay full 17% tip after bad service
A Houston family were locked inside a restaurant and the police were called after they refused to pay the full 17% tip.
That is the amount the restaurant adds to parties of more than five diners, but Mark's complaint was that the staff were rude, their drinks were not refilled and mistakes were made on their orders.
'We asked her, could the gratuity be removed?' said Marks.
'Could we give our own tip?
'I asked the police officer twice, maybe three times, is it against the law if we don't pay the gratuity and he never gave me a straight answer.'

in this particular case, the line item for the restaurant bill would be drink, food, service charge for large group.
same thing. it's like how you order a pizza to be delivered and they tack on a delivery charge. it's a part of the "ordering" of the pizza. you can tip out the delivery guy separately.
And completely accurate.
Well, except for the part about you being worth minimum wage. From the evidence presented so far I would say minimum wage far exceeds your value.
but I could go
and it seems there is this problem here
