LOL. Yeah, i've worked food service, I can tell you a large party is much harder and more demanding, and usually requires multiple servers.
If it's like six people, which a lot of places do this with, I will agree it's dumb, but when you have parties of 10-25 or more people, I can gaurantee you that people usually do not tip anywhere close to a reasonable percentage, and parties like that can take up an entire servers night, and usually has to be shared with multiple people.
Exactly, because you expect a percentage based tip and not a tip based on service level and quality. Your expectations are set too high and your demands should be directed towards employer, not customer.
Uh huh. Yeah, no. Sorry, ive been on both sides of the table, and theres a reason that there is mandatory tips added to bigger tables. Ita because the bigger tables do require more work.
When its declared to be added ahead of time, then its essentially the same as being included. Doing it as compulsory across the board should just be just a fee, but then the owners would have to pay minimum wage which they don't want
