[quote=Anonymous]It has become confusing. What we do is try to look online prior to visiting a restaurant to see if they have a service charge or whatever. Or look on the menu when we actually visit. If that service charge is 10%, we add 10% as tip. If the charge is 15%, we add 5%. Etc. We also look at the receipt before paying because I've seen some places add charges that aren't listed on the menu. I know there is a lot of talk about how some of these charges do/don't go to staff and frankly I cannot keep up with who does what as a customer. What this means for us is we tend to stick with the restaurants we know (rarely try anyplace new right now) and not eat out as often. OP, I'd say as a tourist, to not pay anything over 20% extra including a service charge, and to take a good look at the receipt to make sure you don't get double-charged for a tip/fee.[/quote]
