I would almost ALWAYS get tip on top of gratuity -- especially around holidays.

I should also mention that when I worked as a waiter, it was fine dining.

Nah. Auto-grat is a tool to be racist. I hated it. I'd have people ask me all the time..."should I grat them?" "Should I grat them?" They'd grat every black table and they'd leave it off of every white table. It's a ****ing sham. If I owned a restaurant I'd have the staff vote to either have it be mandatory or never have it. It's bullshit.

And I know EVERY server has the choice...so when I get auto-gratted they get the auto grat and with my friends they just robbed themselves of a lot of $$$ because we tip well and the auto grat adds GRATUITY TO THE SUBTOTAL, not to the total in which most everyone tips. (You're supposed to tip 15-20% on the subtotal, not the total with tax)...

so an 18% auto grat is like a 15% tip

what I'd run into is some people who would circle the auto grat to acknowledge they saw it and then tip it up to 20-25% OR some who just didn't see it and then you'd get double tipped which is pretty shady on the servers part

that's a poorly ran restaurant. I've been a restaurant manager in the past. We had a policy for parties of 8 or more they get 18% added. No exceptions. It was the servers responsibility to come to the managers and get the gratuity added. If they didn't, they got written up. 3 write ups in 6 months for the same thing = fired.

well I guess you didn't work in a restaurant that would do $50,000 in sales on a Saturday night...

that paperwork would be impossible

and I doubt you worked as a restaurant manager as well; you don't know enough about the business. You're always so full of shit.
