Me too. Purely because its easier to work out, although I usually round up to nearest pound.Okay, then we're being mean, because we usually leave somewhere around the 10%.
So for the price on the menu to cover it all they just need to hide the service charge by putting all the prices up by 12.5%.I just want the price on the menu to cover it all and then it's up to the restaurant/café to sort out their internal finances. And of course, everyone should be paid a decent salary.
I don’t think there is a solution until our society gets over its obsession with ever cheaper food.
Yeah, the prices would be higher, but that money should go to cover the higher salaries. No tips to pocket. But if I end up paying it either way, I'd rather have it baked into the price up front. Just like I want VAT to be included in the price tags on stuff in shops.So for the price on the menu to cover it all they just need to hide the service charge by putting all the prices up by 12.5%.
Except that then there would be a big loophole for unscrupulous businesses to pocket the tips money.

The rush to the bottom for food prices is a huge issue for our society as it will necessarily bring with it a resulting reduction in quality, wages and standards.Would you say that THAT is a thing in the industry? I'm asking as you work in your business and know the costings.
I guess Cheap is fairly subjective as a term however.
