[quote=Anonymous]Yes, tipping in DC is out of control to the point we no longer give the city our money.  It is just entirely loathsome and an absolute joykiller how much restaurants try to bleed their customers dry these days , as if they’re cash cows with unlimited funds.

There are now restaurants in DC charging upwards of 22% per for service charges and state that the purpose is to ensure equity, benefits, viability and a whole bunch of other social justice mumbo jumbo.  Then when you get the bill the server also loves to remind you that the 22% is not tipped compensation they receive……which is just a backhanded way of trying to strong arm you into paying another 20% on top of that.  They’re trying to normalize 40% or more on top of bills now.

It’s absolutely insane in DC.  F them all and I hope they go out of business. Can’t stand dining out in DC anymore.  When you don’t want to pay more than 22% the bills after the service charge, they try to make you feel like an a hole about it too.  [/quote]
