However, that is becoming a thing of the past now in the UK - more and more places add a hefty service charge to the bill, so I certainly don't leave any tips then. I consider this tantamount to fraud and won't go back to restaurants that do it - but eventually I'll have nowhere left to go if I refuse all service charges. We should campaign for the law to change to force all businesses to include ALL charges in the prices quoted for their goods and to pay their staff a fair amount in the first place. -- Tetbury, Gloucestershire , UK
