Service charges; resort fees; "surcharge" add-ons: A new state law requiring price transparency is set to take effect in July. Until now, no one knew how it would apply to restaurants.
Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I’m ordering.
I’m not saying those things are morally worse or something, I’m just responding to OPs question about what merits a tip. I’m just outlining the etiquette.
If you have above average service needs, that’s when a tip is appropriate. It’s not your fault you have an allergy, but it creates more work, so a tip is appropriate.
Also it’s very common for waiters to tip out kitchen staff
Waiter writes that down, forwards it to kitchen. That can be expected, imo. Kitchen doesn’t get your tip.
Lol, “thank you for not killing me, here is a tip”. At least it can be expected to be informed about allergies. Regarding subsitutions, see above.
