Warning: mb_strpos() [function.mb-strpos]: Empty delimiter in /home/whmcp14/public_html/inc/functions.inc.php on line 134 After a woman and five friends didn't leave 17-percent gratuity on their meal at a Houston, Texas eatery called 'La Fisherman,' the executive locked them within and called the cops.
The girl and her chums claim the trattoria staff didn't deserve the 17-percent tip required of parties of 5 or even more. But , when it comes down to this case, who is right legally? Judge Napolitano discussed the legal consequences in the case on today's Fox and Friends.
Napolitano said there is not any categorical court controlling on this because the concept of adding tips is relatively new, but he explained that one debate made by the trattoria could be that it wasn't a tip, it was a surcharge that they were informed about previously.
On the other hand, he claimed, "It has been a custom and tradition in this country for centuries ; you like the service, you leave a tip. You don't like the service, you pay the bill and go, and the amount of the tip is to your own choosing."
Legally, he announced the cafe can't arrest these folks and hold them against their will. When it comes to locking the consumers within the bistro, the judge asserts that is called fake imprisonment, so the lady and her pals can technically sue the restaurant.
