NC waiter fired for posting photo of Peyton Manning’s tip

Automatic gratuities piss me right off. They end up making less off of me than if it wasn't there. I don't even tip room service anymore unless they go way beyond.

If its just my table, I'd be annoyed too. However, in this case its obviously a huge party with a lot of people. I have no problem with automatic gratuities for huge parties, because when its one table you know you have to tip, but with a huge party sometimes everyone sort of slinks off thinking someone else will get the tip, or not wanting to adequately tip such a huge bill.

I wouldn't be put off at all with a lot of people, and if I wanted to tip 20% or 25% for a huge group of people, I'd understand why they have to have the automatic gratuity and just write in the extra 2% or 7%

I was under the impression they were at a nice steakhouse, where a $700 tab is 5-6 people. If it's a party of 12 or more that is different.

Room Service auto gratuities are for 1 or 2 people which is a rack of shit.

Yea, until the bill adds up to 2-400 bones, and someone leaves you 20 bucks.

I only grat people when the bill is real high, or they are trashy or rude.

It's also funny, how everyone in the world claims to leave 20 percent, when push comes to shove, the majority dont.

That was a very nice tip by Manning
