grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yep. If I need to pay something, stick it on the bill and I'll pay it. Sorry but the f$%king whole thing is ridiculous and I won't play. (Especially when prices are rip-off to start with). Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 17% VAT going up to 20%. If you consume, you have to be taxed. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Don't have any choice there do I. I have no issues with paying that. I'm thinking of adding SERVICE CHARGE NOT INCLUDED on some of my invoices, see if people pay me more. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 here, we have no sunsumption tax but a 10% service charge. Tips descretionary. So in effect a tax of 10%. Some places don't charge the 10%. Tips most welcomed but still descretionary. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I don't pay service charge now I know I don't have to. I don't usually tip unless the waiter/waitress has gone out of their way to do something for me. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Call me cheap, call me tight, whatever. They're already being paid to give good service. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Good to hear it, I thought perhaps . You thought you had to pay it? If you have to pay a service charge by law, it should be a number right there stated included on the bill. "Option to pay more"? Sod right off. Link to post Share on other sites
