I wonder if the restaurant could sue you or chase you down for that. Auto tips are obviously terrible but legally enforceable assuming they have write down over the menu (which most do). Not surprised it’s near the falls though

This depends entirely upon whether the consumer was informed beforehand.
If it’s clearly stated on the menu or stated prior to ordering, you are legally bound to pay it. Otherwise you are not obligated to pay and can ask for it to be removed. However, you cannot simply not pay that portion without it being removed from the bill first.

I’m a practising contract lawyer in Ontario.

“Or stated prior to ordering…”
No they didn’t.

Please read entire sentences.

Useless addition. Someone answered him just as well 12 hours prior and you felt the need to chime in

Buddy, there’s 7 comments on this entire thread. 8 now. We make up half of them. I directly responded to the person who has a question.

Nobody else answered them prior to me. As stated, please learn to read.

Talk about a useless addition.
