She shouldn't have argued the gratuity as it was restaurant policy, but locking the family in and calling the police was excessive.

Agree with you both. I also think this restaurant didn't do itself any favors at wall with this stunt. No one wants to be locked in a building, especially one that smells like fish>

I've always believed that a tip is a way for the customer to say "thank you" for either good service or a nice meal.
Unfortunately nowdays it become expected, with some restaurants adding it automatically to the bill.
I tip good service, but I make sure that the cash goes into the hand of the person who has served me. If they then pool it and share it out among their co-workers, thats up to them.
I certainly will not pay if it is automatically added to the bill.

Who ever checks that the correct amount of money is paid to staff from the bills and I can't help but wonder just how much of this money winds up in some else's pocket

The quality of the service warrants the size of the tip. I always tip, but the better the job, the better I tip. Restaurant fail.

If an amount is listed, it immediately ceases to be a gratuity, as the very word "gratuity" implies that it is given voluntarily.

Any lawyer who has passed the bar would have them suing the restaurant for false imprisonment.

As in any job you pay for good service, you don't have to pay extra to get it, any employee giving less than their absolute best does not deserve to have a job.

Oh....heh heh. That's not even the video I was trying to show everybody. What a dork am I. ALTHOUGH, this is certainly another classic example of people behaving badly...the restaurant staff, I mean. I'll try to post the link to the video I was initially referring to.

Automatic gratuity for a large party of people is the fancy way of say Surcharge.

I tip 20%-25% when the service is good. When it's not I leave a quarter on the table.... That sends a very loud message. No tip sends none except they think you're a cheap ass. I don't approve of automatic gratuity. F#@% that!

But then again the customers were also asshats.
