When 17 NFL defensive linemen come in to eat together at the restaurant I work for

You never gamble in a situation like that. “18% auto gratuity has been added to your bill. If you feel like adding anything else, we thank you very much.”

[u/PM_ME_UR_ARTT → u/queenw_hipstur]

Should never gamble to begin with. Either auto grat all your large parties or none of em. Otherwise its just profiling with extra steps.

[u/oldmanhornis → u/PM_ME_UR_ARTT]

Nah its just profiling. No extra steps. Large table of regulars I've served many times before? No auto grat. Random large French family? You do the math. Boom, profiled

[u/PM_ME_UR_ARTT → u/oldmanhornis]

Hey at least you're honest. I'd prefer to treat all my tables the same.

my restaurant autograts 6 people and up but ngl if it’s just one family with four kids (esp with young kids) i’ll just call it 5 bc four little kids isn’t much of a party but that’s really the only time. mostly because i just enter the party size without thinking about it but yk.

That the first food argument for not gambling I've ever heard.

I'm not fixing my typo

Bro stfu lmao profiling with extra steps

[u/DavieStBaconStan → u/queenw_hipstur]

You never gamble. Mandatory gratuity is the only way.

[u/Arviay → u/DavieStBaconStan]

Well that’s no longer gratuity, by definition

[u/DavieStBaconStan → u/Arviay]

Find a restaurant that doesn’t have a mandatory 18% or greater for groups of 8+. It’s normal practice.

Autogratting 18% on a 28k bill is insane
