I recently had a really late meal with a couple of friends at an all nite diner @ midnite. When we sat at our table, we were informed that after 11 pm, there was an automatic 20% gratuity added to the check. We were fine with this since we did have a party of 6. After our hostess left, we waited almost 45 min for the waitress to come and take our drink order and bring the drinks even after asking another waitress to find ours. We then ordered our food and it took almost another 45 min to recieve that. We ate our food and it was very good to say the least, but our waitress never showed back up to refill our drinks or see how we were doing. We finally had to ask someone else to bring us our check. Now on our check, we noticed that the "added" gratuity was almost $20. We were told we had to pay it. Is this true? Did she deserve that large a tip no matter what her service was like?Maybe she had a bad day but i dont think thats any excuse. What do you all think?
