alan123shooting Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Service charge is not compulsory, and you can ask for it to be removed from the bill, however what was the standard of the food and the service like, Β£24 per head including drinks, Β I donβt think is bad. Β I have paid your total bill for two at Roules in London, so Β£24 a head is a resultΒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargo Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Surely people look at the prices before they go and if canβt afford it they donβt go? Service charge is quite normal apart from fast food establishments. You will see it printed on the menu. Means you donβt have to have cash for tips anymore.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Shouldn't the tip amount be at the customers discretion not a fixed amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is it never says what charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the thing if you get good service you tip at the table it shouldnt be added on to your billΒ But then if you do tip at the table the cook , dishwasher etc dont get a shareΒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 I always tip at the table. That's the thing with tips, when I worked in a kitchen they all got shared from the kitty. Sounds great until the it came to share time which was crimbo, all the seasonal staff didn't get any as they weren't about. They were shared once a year.Β Honestly I was on carp money in the kitchen, but the girls serving were on worse and had to deal with the old perverts and their abuse so I was happy for them to have it.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Harry , You should had came in the Winter and you could have had the same meal for half the price , sadly that is the problem with eating out in a holiday resort in the height of the Summer , cheapest meal is a good ole portion of chips on the Yarmouth market place , the only problem is you need to eat them quick before the bloody sea gulls come and nick em , failing the high cost of your meal I hope you had a nice little breakΒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving away from the city the Broads are nice and the ones nearer to Yarmouth don't have any pleasure boats on , a bird watchers paradise . As for Pigeons , today we had a run up to Cromer and as you say some of the fields were full of Pigeons , the Wheat that is laid is the most I have seen for years , the grain inside the ears would now be going milkly and on some fields I saw you could have had a lot of shooting , if anyone is looking for shooting in this area it shouldn't be hard to find with all the Pigeons sitting on the telegraph wires and the large amount of laid Wheat about .
