You should check the contract. It probably specifies in there that they will add the gratuity.
AnswerThe question is somewhat confusing. "Tip" is another word for "gratuity". Many restaurants include a "gratuity" on the bill when serving a group of 6 or more. Once they have done that, you have no obligation to add any additional "tip". Naturally, a server or other individual who lives on tips will have a different perspective.To many of us, the mandatory tip (gratuity) is considered offensive and an insult. Since the tip has historically been voluntarily given to show gratitude for good service, the concept of adding a mandatory "gratuity" no longer means the same thing.Another perspectiveFifteen percent of $660 is $99. However, fifteen percent is a pretty cheap tip. Twenty percent ($132) would be more appropriate if you got good service.
No you can not, some restaurants have a tip-gratuity printed out on the bill stating how much to tip based on 10% to 30%.
Yes, in some cases, restaurants may add gratuity to your bill without your consent, especially for larger groups or during special events. It is important to check the menu or ask the server about the restaurant's gratuity policy to avoid any surprises on your bill.
