Wow, what a load of shit. Great way for the establishment to respond to the poor service they provided... have them arrested!

Thats outrageous. How was the "gratuity" a mandatory part of the bill? I get pissed when restaurants put a mandatory gratuity on bills for groups larger than 5 or 6 people. I don't think I would eat at a place where they did it for 2 people!

^said they were with friends. Still bullshit though. Its called gratuity for a reason, I also hate any form of mandatory gratuity. Especially because I find that large parties often get treated like shit, which could very well be a product of the auto-tip.

A "mandatory" gratuity is not a law, it's a establishment implemented policy. The police, yet again, responded like absolute retards. I'd probably be looking into a lawsuit.

I do agree that the "mandatory" tips are dumb and often lead to bad service, BUT places that do, have signs up and usually tell you ahead of time. If you dont like the policy, don't eat there. They have every right to charge you whatever they want...its their business.

^ in principal I agree that it's their business, but if it's "mandatory", then it's not a "gratuity", it's a service charge!


FROM DICTIONARY.COM
noun, plural -ties. 1. a gift of money, over and above payment due for service, as to a waiter or bellhop; tip.
2. something given without claim or demand.
3. British. a. a bonus granted to war veterans by the government.
b. a bonus given military personnel (jumper, Troy, kevin, etc)on discharge or retirement.

..not saying I agree with their policy, just saying they can do whatever they want and call it whatever they want. If enough people get fed up being charged "gratuity" and their service sucking, people will stop going and they will either have to tighten up or go out of business.

On a side note... as the business owner I would fire the manager and the bartender on the spot. This is the sort of press that kills an establishment. That the bartender called the cops on the tip off a $76 tab is idiotic. Then the manager trying to claim he offered to comp the meal. (Could be true... but there would be some witnesses to that.) Then the cops actually bothering to show up and cuff them is even more special.
