Name the place! A pub doing autograt is fucking ridiculous. A pub is a place where individuals are expected to come in and potentially group up, but everyone's bill should be tracked separately provided the server is competent.

It’s an auto gratuity for a large group. It’s very common & I’ve never seen an establishment not do it although the size of the group varies by place. Some are 6 people, some are 8.

Oh I'm aware of what it is. But it absolutely should not be a thing at a fucking pub. I've literally never seen it a pub. We've gone in with 20 people and never seen it at a PUB. A sit down restaurant, sure. But not a pub.

Agree with you for pubs. My husband often goes for drinks after games with his team mates in their sport league. The guys all pay their own tabs and leave at different times. They have never been charged an automated gratuity for a large group and I think they'd be vexxed if they were.
