Tipping 101

Some college students got a harsh lesson in manners when they were arrested for not leaving a tip at Lehigh Pub in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The owner called the police claiming the tip was actually part of the bill and that the menus clearly state “18 percent gratuity added to check of parties of 6 of more.”

Before the incident the pub had only 5 reviews (mostly negative) on Yelp.com but now the site is pulling down derogatory comments by the hundreds. Let this be a tip for any restaurant thinking of implementing mandatory tips.
