KarateForums.com is 8 and 1/2 Years Old!
Patrick replied to Patrick's topic in KarateForums.com Announcements
Thanks all. I really appreciate the replies and kind words. Thank you for being a part of it and a part of what makes it great. This means a lot to me; this is what we strive for. Thank you. Patrick -
Mandatory or automatic gratuities are fairly normal at the level of a basically nice restaurant or higher. Generally, it'll be something like an automatic 18% for parties of 6 or more. It's more rare for it to be automatic regardless of party size, but it happens. Saying it's a service charge is confusing in it's own right because then you wonder who it goes to. Gratuities go to servers, service charges go to... so, that opens up it's own can of worms, too. Patrick

Hey all, Celebrating our half birthday is sort of a tradition here at KarateForums.com and that day is today as we turn 8 and 1/2 years old! We launched on May 21, 2001. I don't know where all the time went, but it does give me an opportunity to thank everyone who has positively contributed to this community. I love what we are and I love the atmosphere we have here - one of kind, respectful martial arts discussion. It means a great deal to me. Thank you to my staff, who helps me to maintain this atmosphere: Heidi, Brian, Danielle, Ed, Alex, Brenda, Jennifer and Dave. I appreciate everything that you do. Thank you for reading and for visiting KarateForums.com. Sincerely, Patrick

A mandatory gratuity is a mandatory gratuity and they should have paid it. That said, calling the police was a bit of an overreaction, I feel. if you want to tell them they aren't welcome at the establishment, cool. But, calling the cops is just a bad business move.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting link. Patrick

No problem. Ricky had a good game, definitely. I don't know if it's a turnaround, kind of what we were doing on the ground, already. But, there is still hope.

I'm definitely a fan of hot chocolate.

Yeah, it wasn't a very convincing win for the Dolphins, but a win is a win. One week at a time. Looks like we're going to miss Ronnie Brown for at least one game, which is awful...
