I find it remarkable that 90% of diners fail to leave a tip, despite the receipt clearly indicating that the $10.08 service charge is not a gratuity. This table's bill totaled $71.11, and yet they chose to leave the optional tip line empty—underscoring the challenges restaurants face in retaining employees. It is illogical to expect full service without compensating the staff accordingly. This dichotomy is untenable.
