They're scum.  On my trip this year they stealthily added an 18% tip when my wife went in just to pickup up some chicken to go for Rafi.

I hope you disputed. That's disgusting.

BTW is anyone else bothered by the double tip fees? Most places include the tip in the price and the underneath it they leave an empty space for you to fill in the tip amount! Really bothers me
My friend wrote in the yated about it.

Not worth disputing for $2.  They're just scum. China Bistro is as well for their tipping practices.

It's not the $2, it's the principal.

Also, they get assessed a fee for every dispute, IIRC.

For the principal I'd accomplish more if I made a dedicated post on the issue and called them out on it specifically.

Do one or the other. Your choice.

But I personally would never leave that alone.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Can't these places charge 18% and just have a standard receipt that restaurants use which happens to ask for a tip?

Even if that's true would you use such receipts if you owned a restaurant?

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Do it for the principle, not for the principal.
