quote:I recently stayed at a casino. My host gave me a food and beverage comp. Ordered a bottle of booze to the room. Bottle showed up, in hand with two plastic cups on top. I didn't read the ticket, and tipped $5 for walking it up to my room. Checked out the next day, and was surprised to see that a 20% tip was automatically added and was not included in the comp.
I'm not a fan of it either.
From the sounds of it on this board though, IMO people are not really being fair to servers when this happens. Unless shite has changed since I waited tables in college, it was never my option to add the auto-tip, it was on parties of 6 or more, I imagine that's still the norm in some form or fashion.
If you normally tip 20-25%, and the restaurant auto adds 18% and you decide that's all you're tipping, that's fine, it's certainly not a huge deal. But I'd just add that you're tipping the server less than you normally would for something that I don't think generally speaking the server has anything to do with it and it isn't their call.
