Don’t agree to the automatic gratuity.
I visited the Marco Pierre White Restaurant at Milton Keynes with a colleague. The meal was excellent, the staff were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I had no concerns about the 10% gratuity automatically added although I think it should never be necessary. It is an insult to add it in. However, our service was excellent. But then I managed to ascertain that the staff do not get it all but only some small proportion of it. The rest goes to a third party. That is appalling. It ought to be a criminal offence. Make sure you object to the gratuity being added at the outset. If you want to leave a tip do it personally to the individual who looked after you.
