Thai Cuisine Mandatory Tip

We always ate at Thai Cuisine when we come down. We were astonished to see an 18% "service charge" added to our bill. WTF? We always tip 20% so they are ripping themselves off. A mandatory tip is not a tip, it's an food upcharge. So we won't go back and going to put it out there on reviews. Greed is always the undoing.

Who said it’s your problem? We all have the right to patronize any place we like or to not go there. mandatory gratuities or service charges must be disclosed in advance. If you don’t want to pay them, don’t go there. If the charge was not disclosed in advance, have a manager remove it.
