If it's a mandatory charge, how can it be a gratuity?
HereIt seems to me that if it is required, then it is part of the price. If it is labelled a gratuity then there is no obligation to pay it.
This seems to be a case of price hiding and I'd be disposed to throw the book at the restrauntuer. I for one would like to know that a price was a price. I'm fed up with additional "fees" and "charges" that aren't part of the price.
What think you?
