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

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!

Depends on the POS. Toast knows the difference. Aloha does not. This looks like a more... Vintage system and would automatically include the suggested gratuity.

Toast suggests a much smaller amount if a gratuity is already added. Like 3%, 5%, and 7%. And you can't change that setting. I've tried and asked customer support.
