    I would have not paid the 18% fee and let them explain it to the cops when they arrived. I guarantee that’s not posted anywhere that they do that- so…

    False advertising.

      I frequently see “an 18% gratuity charge will be applied to parties of 6 or more” on menus. It’s possible that this was posted and OP just missed it.

      Edit: JK just read the text at the bottom where it calls it out as not a gratuity.

        It’s not a gratuity, but restaurants like this often don’t expect tips either. At least in my area.

      Places that do this will have fine print at the bottom of their menu mentioning the charge so they can avoid legal issues.
