Day By Day© by Chris Muir.Thursday, September 16, 2004
Do you remember last week when I wrote about he poor shnuck who was arrested for not leaving a big enough tip? Well, he's off the hook:
The Warren County District Attorney's Office said a restaurant patron can't be forced to leave a gratuity. Prosecutors said establishments have to call it a service charge -- not a tip -- in order to make it a mandatory add-on charge.So the New York restaurants can still stiff you for 18%, they just can't call it a tip. I wonder if the waitperson will still get it.
