Doh take on the chuna bubalups irl. I'd rather corn beef n noodles than a fistful of regular pasta, cheese and sprinkled grass fuh 5 times the price just to say "i fauncy."

$643.13, not including gratuity. total out of pocket would be around $750.

service charge is not gratuity.

gratuity is 20% on the total of (food + service charge + tax).

Alluh stush..........tip is the difference between 15% of my pretax bill and whatever they take from me on the service charge. That 20% is for America where servers get paid less than minimum wage with the expected tips making up the shortfall in pay.

I tip 20% because the wait staff in Trini have it plenty harder than wait staff in America. Max understands what I mean.

I wont say Trinis have it harder na. Their ass too happy here as people tolerate their poor customer service.

In America they have it harder, as they people there dont tolerate crap.

No. Not Vat.

Back in the days of RPM/Celebs/Gallery, there would be at least 3 pipers rotating and prowling around outside those places waiting to rob school children and they call it "taxing"

Since those places gone, so too are those pipers, but also since Hard Rock is on Gulf City compound, they want to give you the full Gulf City experience.

But bringing in pipers to loiter around the compound to "tax" / rob and rape, will result in a decline in business, so instead they just put it on the bill. People would quicker pay a figure printed on a paper, than hurt up your ears with some sad story and/or forcefully lose the same money via piper.

On another note I always wondered how come in them busy Euro and Asian (china/japan/Singapore) cities or tourist zones, them 18 and 19 year old fast food workers dealing with tens of thousands of customers in more than one language and still manage to keep the lines moving, while we older, 1-CXC-pass (or less) workers have long lines waiting.

And even for their local non fast food type places like bars, lounges, restaurant (Not American or worldwide chain) where there will be less overall people but they spending more time there so it still always busy, the environment and service is usually very good.

upick customer is a tuntun
where is it 'universally understood' that the 10% goes to staff?
They make a misinformed assumption, create a scene, and then escalate it...upick should ban them

That's called gamey flavor. And usually freezer burned because not vacuum sealed storage.
