The Weekly Gripe

Service charge at a restaurant
Tipping in restaurants

You must be joking....

Why do we tip or pay an extra service charge in restaurants - at all? You've paid for the food and the staff are paid by the restaurant, surely you should expect to get good service as part of the deal.



You shouldn’t have to pay a tip for the food, because you have already paid for it and the waiters and waitresses are paid by the restaurant to serve the food. Why the need for this extra service charge?
