Creator's Key Takeaways

they're raising the price of the gratuities on the great packages so the gratuities you pay on the drape packages is every time you order a drink you'll see on your tab there's automatically a right now a 50% charge for gratuities it's about to be changed to 18%

you're basically tipping double now I know a lot of people are gonna say well yeah that doesn't all go directly to the service person no this is true it doesn't always go to the server

I actually think all three percent should have gone to the staff members in this case you're calling it a gratuity give it to the people who are doing the work for about gratuity
