why is your restaurant open that late if you aren’t accepting of the people that want to come in at that time? ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > why is your restaurant open that late if you aren’t accepting of the people that want to come in at that time? I don’t mind they come in late most of the time. But the only thing that’s kinda get annoying is that they ordered couple dishes for 4 to 6 people without soups, apps, and drinks. Then the servers stay back late and got like $2 tip? ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > why is your restaurant open that late if you aren’t accepting of the people that want to come in at that time? I have kind of wondered the same thing. If you are open till 10 but dont like people showing up at 930, then close at 930. ---

It’s common courtesy to not show up at a restaurant 30 minutes before they close. ---

Closing early doesn’t solve the problem of 10 people for 2 dishes of food and no tipping. Hawaii was floating a law that said you had to tip (if I remember correctly) because there are so many Japanese tourists. In Japan there is no tipping. You could mandate a % gratuity after 8pm and just add it to their bill, or automatically add in gratuity if the table is more than 4 people. ---

I hate mandatory gratuity. You get tipped for a job well done. It shouldn’t be automatic… except in the case of foreigners… especially germans. So I guess my point doesn’t really matter. ---

Charge a plate fee, if they want to share then they can pay a few bucks for the extra plates. Maybe after that, they’ll either stop showing up, or they’ll order more food. Not tipping is bastard move, if the server even did a half-way decent job. Newman, it is a courtesy yes. However, if you’re hungry and your options are limited, sometimes you just have to be the asshole. ---
