A New York restaurant
has banned tipping to spare customers the bother, while some restaurants
in other US cities have already replaced the gratuity with a fixed
optional service charge. So is the discretionary tip falling out of
favour in the land where it's king?
A young man and woman are sitting in a restaurant in New York, enjoying their second date.
The man pays the waiter the bill and heads to the bathroom while the woman gathers her things.
"How much did he tip?" she asks the waiter. He tells her.
When the man comes back to the table, there is an angry exchange and she says she doesn't want to see him again.
A tip of 8.5% brought that romance to a premature end.
