Default Re: Tipping, automatic gratuity for large parties

[ QUOTE ]

Automatic gratuities are simply necessary to avoid situations where a waiter gets shafted. It's one thing to get stiffed on a party of 2, but when a big party takes up a waiter's section all night and leaves him like $5 or something, it's just not right.

I totally understand and agree. But, obviously the waiter did in fact work substantially less to get two bottles of wine than he did for serving eight people.
