Be careful.  Always read the bill first.

近兩個月以來，我都是在溫東的Hastins/Kingsway/Main街等路段的中餐館、面館與卡拉OK的朋友用餐后，由於AA分賬，看賬單時發現除了HST，還有Tips，還好，Tips部分，都是按10%餐費算的，所以也沒有什麼可說的。
若沒仔細看賬單，付費之后額外再付小費，就會成了個大爺了。

They did not put HST on your tip!

Can we create a list of these restaurants here? So that everyone can be careful when we visit them?

no but some restaurants put tip on the bill.  It is fine but as long as you do not pay extra unnecessary tips.

很容易習慣性地在打 5%-10% 小費﹐所以必須看清楚帳單。。。
恐怕造成一個 NORM﹐像 HK﹐好多飯店已經自動加 10% TIPS﹐我們再給 5% 就變了小費 15% 了。。。很多時在這邊做慣手勢﹐回到 HK 也不期然自動在帳單上多給 10%﹐我猜那些飯店已掩著嘴笑

as long as they include the tips B4 HST, it would be a great idea!

食少啲就自然俾少啲！

Autograts.. Parties of six or eight… Kobe Teppanyaki, and many more.

Fine if the autograt was 10% to 12%; that’s standard tipping. And if the overall service was exceptional, you can always tip over the autograt. But some restaurants have autograts between 18-22%. And with new HST implemented… Voala—ouch.

Funny how bf and I were just talking about this topic last night. So is the practice of autograt legal in Canada?

Unless the restaurant actually has an ‘autograt policy’ in its menu (labelled as a service charge in lieu of the optional gratuity), the restaurant cannot automatically add gratuity to your bill. And if they have this policy… they better be adding the same service charge for all tables with the same prerequisites or that’s just discrimination.

Tipping is not mandatory in Canada, but eating in a restaurant also means entering in a contract. A contract, obviously works both sides. The restaurant is obligated to provide the service and food as listed in its menu, and you are contractually obligated to pay for your meal (including the autograt if it was listed in the menu). But of course, the contract is also breached if the restaurant did not deliver the service. So legal or not… hard to say.

And if I see a 20% autograt on my bill, the restaurant better be reporting that tip/gratuity to the CRA.
