Black people don't tip.

Asian staff are too easily offended.

Kitchen staff don't work for tips.

Fuck the restaurant, the lady is in the right.

Yes and no. I agree with you in principal, but I went to a NYC nightclub on Monday (The Bitter End), and they had a two-drink minimum, as well as a $10 door charge.

I was struck by the fact that I would be forced to consume food or beverage, when of course, they could just charge more for the door...but I am an old timer, and am intimately familiar with the two-drunk minimum.

Both the compulsory gratuity and the food/drink consumption minimums are rather sketchy means of charging people more, when you get down to brass tacks.

It's really not right. It may be the custom, or excepted norm for us, but it borders on wrong.

I agree to a point.

The cover/drink charge are known ahead of time. You agree to it upon entering said establishment. Any other money you spend is discretionary.

If you paid your $10 to get in and $20 for two drinks, would you be pissed if they didn't allow you back because you didn't tip the waitstaff $2 per drink?

While I don't agree with stiffing waitpersons, tips are optional.

It's not uncommon for the wait staff to share tips with the back room folk.

Suing to get into a restaurant where they don't like you?

You might as well order boogers for take out.

...and my point was that drink should be "optional" too.

Otherwise, WTF is the cover for? ...But we generally except this as custom, though really not right.

It's another example of restaurateurs moving items from the "optional" column to the "required" column for payment.
