I'd just like to say I think this is a very worthwhile and notable article. But so far it looks like it needs some work. It's got a lot of name-dropping and the tone sounds... a tad emotional. Some of the factual parts might require greater explanation as well. For example, the concept that tipped employees can be paid below minimum wage needs further explanation, in that it is state-by-state labor law matter, and also varies by country. The implementation of the labor laws are also very different by state and involves more than just minimum wage.
It may also be notable to mention how Autograts can be abused or used inappropriately. I know of several local investigations where customers were being autogratted extremely high amounts because the manager felt they were "difficult" or an autograt was assessed based purely on race of the customer. I will help out where I can, but I will not interfere with editing for the moment because this is such a freshly made article. Legitimus ( talk) 21:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
The General Summary section needs to be completely rewritten. The tone and POV are clearly skewed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.51.216.23 ( talk) 01:23, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
While the motivation for creating this article may have been non-neutral, it is a verifiable practice and notable. I agree that it SOUNDS one sided, but that's because the practice is arguable one-sided and an unfair business practice. That shedding light on it with the verifiable truth happens to show the practice's inherent flaws doesn't mean this article is not NPOV. In other words, the truth hurts, but that doesn't mean it's not a valid article topic. 74.102.164.44 ( talk) 21:08, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
General Summary section needs revisions for the sake of neutrality. While the information provided in this article seems relevant and (most of) the sources cited seem reliable, the general tone and word choice throughout the article don't seem particularly neutral.
"The discretionary form of mandatory tipping is extremely risky for businesses to use, as it allows for potential abuse or prejudice against the customer. For example, a manager might apply a large automatic gratuity to an elderly customer whom they predict will not look at the bill closely enough to be a savvy consumer. Another situation might have a server apply an autograt to a table that might stiff him or her on the tip because of the ethnicity of the customer(s)."
"While the restaurant may disclose the mandatory tipping on the menu, the concept is still ludicrous from a legal standpoint.[11] Restaurants that provide poor service are commiting economic suicide because of the late-2000s recession.[11] A gratituty is supposed to be a reward for good service, not a mandatory part of the bill.[11]"

This section is mostly irrelevant. It is mostly a discussion of minimum wages for tipped employees, taxation and reporting. This information is relevant to the practice of tipping generally, but irrelevant to this article on mandatory tipping. Baller McGee ( talk) 03:51, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
