[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a DC resident, but even I am confused about what to do these days. I had lunch at a nice restaurant the other day, and the waitress approached our table at the end to let us know there was a 20% gratuity added to the bill, but that it didn't go to her; rather, it went to the kitchen staff. The implication was that she still was hoping we'd tip on top. It left such a bad taste in my mouth![/quote]

That's insane.  They are now expecting you to double tip?  No thanks. What restaurant was this so I can avoid it?[/quote]

Not the PP but I have also encountered this. So now when you go to a restaurant you pay an extra 40%![/quote]

You gotta tell us what places??[/quote]

NP- This just happened to me at Brasserie Liberte in Georgetown. They added a 20% service charge (I ate alone outside)+ I added a 15% tip. Glad DH was not with me. He would have gone bonkers. I like the food but will not return.[/quote]
