whilst i gratefully tip if I get good food and service I do feel unhappy when the service charge (tip) is added automatically in some restaurants or i am left a note to say how much the waitress expects you to tip. i know planet hollywood automatically add their tip on your bill if there is a party of 6 or more and i think hard rock does too. check the menu before you go in. I was at hard rock, london, at the weekend and their bill says 20% gratuity will be added to every bill over £30. With the prices they charge i am sure most bills will be over £30 and i was very annoyed at this, but paid it, as the service we did get was not exceptional and certainly not worth the £12 we were charged. if there has been a few of us in our party i must admit that we separate to avoid the service charge being added as i resent being told how much i have to tip.[msnscared]
