      Is it just me, or does being asked to tip always feel like shit? If I do tip, I feel extorted; if I don’t, I feel like the bad guy. And the very act of deciding which way I want to feel bad makes me feel tired.

      Tipping sucks.

      Lots of restaurants have it in the UK already, I always check and if it’s in the bill, I leave no extra tip regardless of how good the service was.

      Never been to any of his restaurants but I’ve seen service charges on countless bills in the ones I do visit.

      I get it removed. They can fuck off.

      I’ll be one of the first people to not eat in any of his restaurants then.

      It’s pretty common in the UK already I’ve worked a few places with it, It generally gets advertised as part of the pay for he job but without it being guaranteed. Stupid bloody system.

      This is a systemic issue. UK needs lesser inequality, better unions, better social security.

      Worked in a restaurant in London where the service charge went to an animal charity. I love animals but c’mon 😭

      In his Edinburgh restaurant, I flat out refused to pay 20 %. We already ordered the most expensive thing on the menu (beef wellington). There is no way I have to pay extra on top of that just because I did not choose pasta pr burger. The server was a young inexperienced guy who also made many mistakes (which is absolutely fine but not worth so much in tips tbh).

      I said I want to lower it to 10 %. Absolute scenes. Manager came. “What happened?!?” Nothing, you are just being ridiculous. They “had to” redo their bill because the 20 % were added automatically.

      Best part was when the waiter came and told me if I want to include tip for him because the 10 (before 20)% is not for him. Wtf?

      Needless to say I will never go to any restaurant bearing this man’s name ever again.

      Wouldn’t have eaten in his restaurants before, won’t eat in them now.

      „Hey, I’m the very rich Gordon Ramsay!. I don’t want to pay my staff a fair wage so I will be making you, the paying customer, pay for it whilst I take all the profits to buy more stuff for myself.“

      One of the other chefs in the article was quoted

      “If it’s on New Year’s Eve, then maybe there’s a reason to do it.”

      Which this was, a lot of restaurants will do this on that specific day because people sit around until after midnight. I’m not taking a stance either way, but I get the feeling a lot of people just read the headline

      I was recently in London, and a number of restaurants were quitely putting a tip into the bill price as a sneaky line item. Typically 12%.

      I’ve seen that before in North America, but only for big groups, typically like 12+ people. This was for a table of 3 people.

      Completely outrageous. People need to stop standing for this bullshit.

    28. GurthNada on

      Why call it a „tip“ or „service charge“? Raise the price if you need it, I never understood why the food industry insists on billing labor cost separately.

    30. IDontEatDill on

      As a car mechanic, I expect the same waiters to tip me 20% when I fix their car.

      As a shop cashier, I except the same waiters to tip me 20% when they buy something.

      Isn’t this the same thing? Why only restaurants get away with this?

    31. razakii on

      20% service charge added and they’ll probably still show the tip selection on the card machine

    33. Calcifer1 on

      I was in London last week and had several restaurants charge me with the „automatic service fee“ of 10 or 12,5%. I asked what it was and the response was „basically it’s tip but it’s optional, and all restaurants in central London do it“

      Hâte this approach

    34. ilikebigbutts8 on

      Millionaire celebrity chef is begging for money instead of paying to his employees haha

    35. RecordEnvironmental4 on

      Service charges should be illegal, if it’s mandatory it should be part of the price on the menu.

    37. Hundike on

      I’ve been to other places in the Uk that do this, we never go back!

      We also always check the bill and ask for it to be removed. I think they bet on people not wanting to be confrontational. If the meal costs 20% more put it in the menu?? It’s literally lying about your menu prices?

    38. crlthrn on

      And I still won’t be going. The guy’s as ignorant as a sackful of arseholes.
      AND a previous restaurant of his was bringing the food in pre-cooked and frozen, I believe. So… nope.

      I could vomit from the us tipping culture, its just rotten to the core

      I have the waiter qualification, i learnd that specifcly in school, i worked only 3,5 years as a waiter.

      We learnd it in school that its more than alright if someone dosen’t tip, the normal/exceptionel/averge amount of tip is 10% (it was just a suggestion ).

      And we also learned : if there are service fee, than we need to remind the guests that its already on the bill, EVERY TIME (ofc there are a lot of junk places where u won’t be getting anything from the service fee)

      Its a key thing to say that im form hungary . And it was 7yrs ago

      Also when i was working a couple times i only got like 0.25-0.50€ as a tip on a 30-60€ bill. And it was allright, all the time. Our teacers siad that ur expection on tips be always 0%.
