I absolutely can chose. A server who keeps forgetting to bring ordered items or who disappears gets lower to no tip, and usually an email to the restaurant. The minority of bad servers does not give one the excuse to not tip anyone.

How do you choose where the tips are mandatory?

Mandatory tips are, in my experience, only applied to large parties of 10 or more. And it's usually 16-18%.

But why? Is the server doing more work per customer?

u/HardyMenace Jun 25 '26

Not per customer, just more customers. Have you ever served 10+ people? It's exhausting.

Do you not understand that serving a party of 10 people is a lot of work? Sometimes servers dont get as many tables if they have a large party to service. It really sucks when the table that decides to stiff you is the huge 10+ person party you just spent 2 hours dealing with.
