Guested Account Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 If you are in one of these cities in USA https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/host-cities Some restaurants are considering adding a 20% Automatic Gratuity to EVERY bill. Restaurants usually automatically add a 15% to 20% tip to tables with 4-6 or more diners. But because of the World Cup, some restaurants are considering adding a 20% tip to every bill. It doesn't matter if it's a table of one or a table of 10. It doesn't matter if the tab is $5, $20 or $200. 20%!! That's 20% on top of some restaurants that are already charging a SERVICE CHARGE, which they say it's not a TIP to the waiters and waitresses. I've seen those SERVICE CHARGE range from as low as 2% to as high as 25%. Restaurants claim the SERVICE CHARGE is to offset the cost of labor, cost of cooking gas, cost of ingredients, etc. https://www.thetravel.com/us-world-cup-host-cities-restaurants-display-notices-gratuity-fees-increase-20-percent/ https://www.newsnationnow.com/business/your-money/tipping-world-cup-restaurants-gratuities/ Guess we won't be dining out when the World Cup is here June 14th to July 4th.
