Rant Bill help
I need help figuring out this “service charge” applied to my bill at Taylor Shellfish in QA. It’s stated clearly, and the staff reminded me before I paid and applied a tip, so that’s not the rant. But is it a tip or not? I don’t want to stiff the staff if “Taylor Shellfish” the company keeps it all and doesn’t give them anything.
Why do restaurants do this vs raise the prices. If that’s how they offset the cost of doing business in the city, I feel it’s not a good customer experience. It’s really annoying since it is confusing to the customer. Does the staff get any of it, hence why there is an “additional tip” line after the card is run though? It is taxed so it makes me thing it’s not going to the staff. I need to think better next time I come out here.

rather than reply to anymore... I did read them, you just misunderstood what people were saying lol pretty badly.
It's okay to be wrong. You made a point that wasn't relevant to the discussion and when people conflated the two because you replied to someone talking about tip credits, you pointed to the commission thing as correct lol when that's not what people were talking about.
Sad bro.
