Man Arrested for Too-Small Tip at Pizzeria
A man in Lake George, NY has found himself under arrest for allegedly leaving too small a tip at a pizza restaurant.
Humberto Taveras faces a misdemeanor theft of service after he and his party of eight others left a 10 percent tip at Soprano's Italian and American Grill in Lake George.
The restaurant says an 18 percent gratuity is "mandatory" for parties of six or more. Taveras says he didn't know that -- besides, they weren't satisfied with the food or service.
But restaurant owner Joe Soprano says all the menus have the notice and the waitress told them, too. Soprano says he's not pressing charges because of the money. He contends Taveras was rude.
Taveras plans on fighting the tipping point in court.
-------
Excuse me, but I thought tipping was 15% and optional. Also the size of the tip varies with the level of service. Less for poor service and more for great service.
Also most places will inlcude the tip on the biil for large parties.
And since when was being rude a criminal offense? Though I know of some people who should be arrested for taking rudeness to new highs. Or is that lows?
