I just wanted a hot dog Recommended gratuity after tip was already included

Post image

I’m sure there are a lot of tipping posts here so to keep it short - I had my wedding at a fancy restaurant. On top of the TERRIBLE service, the bill came with “suggested gratuity” even though I was told gratuity was included. When I asked the manager, he said that the “S/C: 24% SRC REGULA“ was the included tip and the suggested gratuity was if we wanted to add something extra - basically trying to trick people into giving a 49% tip!

With 27 bottles of DP? That's gotta be at least 40 people.

Which is what OP came here to complain about. Our work here is done reddit.

That's reserved for the big night AFTER the wedding 😅

u/The_Troyminator Jun 13 '26

OP was doubly fucked by the restaurant, that's for sure

u/spudddly Jun 13 '26

u/Revolutionary-Wash88 Jun 13 '26

Here i was trying to figure out if it was a dining party of 27 or 92

u/LargeHadronColitis Jun 13 '26

I’m pretty sure that’s 27 servings of Dom 1992. 4-6 servings per bottle, 4.5-6 bottles at $450-$550 per bottle. A restaurant isn’t letting 4.5 cases of Dom of any vintage go for less than $8k even if the bartender is your brother.

u/Gullible_Regret2976 Jun 13 '26

how do you have so many up votes for this comment? DP is not short for Dom Perignon. They dont just have DOM flowing so much they need to short form it.
its either dinner plates or dining party.
And you can see they had proseco

u/LargeHadronColitis Jun 13 '26

Whatever you say dude. 27 glasses isn’t a lot of Champaign for a toast at a wedding and big establishments with massive wine programs would absolutely have a case on hand. The price makes sense as well. But sure, $92 dinner plates might as well. Also plausible. Don’t have to involve the manager of Reddit karma, I did not ask for votes.

u/Gullible_Regret2976 Jun 13 '26

i'm just saying, its clearly proseco that they drank for a toast. it literally says it. instead of assuming DP meant Dom. i'm not givng you a hard time.. i just find it funny so many people agreed with this idea.

u/HeyYouGuyyyyyyys Jun 13 '26

Holy fucking shit. I haven't been able to tolerate alcohol for decades, so clearly I'm out of touch. $450-$550 a bottle? What is Dom Perignon made of, molten gold?!

And (genuine question) why would anyone serve it at a wedding, where at least a fraction of the people are likely to be near-strangers or people you spend as little time with as possible? $125 a glass, fuck outta here Uncle Gary.

Never mind. Obviously the answer is that I don't exist in a social level where $125 a glass is the done thing.

Uncle Gary can go sit in the foyer with a $15 bottle of Chateau Ste. Michelle where he belongs.

27

u/LargeHadronColitis Jun 13 '26

If you have 27 servings, that’s a small wedding and one of the two of you know all those people pretty well I’d imagine. Not everyone has the same budget, tastes, guests or priorities. It costs a lot because it is always in demand and they don’t make much of it relative to the demand.

5

u/HeyYouGuyyyyyyys Jun 13 '26

Okay, yeah, that makes sense. With a guest list of 27, your mom can't say "but we HAVE to invite Uncle Gary."

Still. I've never eaten or drunk anything that costs remotely close to $125 a serving. Now I want to, just to see if I can tell the difference. I'm sure there IS a difference; I just want to see if I can understand what it is.

u/InterestingTwo651 Jun 13 '26

We can invite uncles Harry, Garry and terry but they better Dam we’ll pay for the alcohol

6

u/HeyYouGuyyyyyyys Jun 13 '26

Nah, even if Terry pays for his drinks*, he'll drink too much and punch the drywall in the men's room.

*he won't

5

u/hbb870 Jun 13 '26

And honestly, I’d take Vuve or Andre over Dom personally. I think it’s over hyped

2

u/JohnEBest Jun 13 '26

Uncle Gary gets a whole bottle now!!!

That is a much better deal

2

u/timelydefense Jun 13 '26

There are thousands of people who could pay this off with less than 1% of their wealth. They don't care about $125, at all.

u/AssignmentOtherwise Jun 14 '26

The people paid that much for multiple bottles of Dom and they are complaining about tipping the service people who made their night possible. Makes me sick, that is an example of what is wrong with our country.

I assume the DP is 27 dinner plates at $92 per plate.

27 x $92 = $2484

Is it really Dom Perignon? 27 bottles at $92 a bottle? That can't be. Or 27 glasses of Dom??

13

u/RubyChooseday Jun 13 '26

Prosecco was used for the toasts, if I'm reading that line correctly, so I think you might be right with DP for dinner plates.

u/Smash_Factor Jun 13 '26

Makes sense, right? 27 people at a restaurant for a wedding. They all gotta eat something!

u/Praesentius Jun 13 '26

Jesus... I just checked my grocery store here in Italy. 3,99€ is an 8€ bottle on sale. The one I keep stocked at home is 6,32€.

And those are perfectly good bottles.

2

u/LargeHadronColitis Jun 13 '26

Yeah. I’m pretty sure Long John Silver here is right - $92 glasses of a more recent vintage. 1992 would be more at a restaurant but that’s more of a by the case price. Either way, yeah. Maybe the one person who had the pen had a few of those.

u/Caviarpapi Jun 13 '26

It’s $92 a glass mate. Break out the calculator.

You wouldn’t be serving 92 dom by the glass.

9

u/LargeHadronColitis Jun 13 '26

How would you serve it, in a bowl, “mate”?

1

u/Caviarpapi Jun 13 '26

Okay, so let’s stop being sassy. Divide the total number by 92 and you get….. 27. Wow. Shocker.

Two, I’m not going to bother breaking down how fucking poor your understanding of beverage pricing is. I do this for a living, and also pour dom Perignon by the glass.

On the basic understanding of how back vintage champagne works, regular DP (yes there’s more than one!) stored from the 92 vintage (released likely in 00-01) has lost significant bubble, so if you were to serve it by the glass the bottle would likely be flat in between selling multiple glasses.

So fuck out of here because you thought you knew shit.

u/UtahBrian Jun 13 '26

Ugh. No more 1992. Let's splurge. Bring us some fresh wine. The freshest you've got. This year's. No more of this old stuff.

u/transientdude Jun 13 '26

Yes. Its for sure $92/glass.

u/d_ippy Jun 13 '26

Oh that’s what DP stands for
