After the meal, it's time to digest the bill.
And if service hasn't been included,
most of us add a little bit extra on to the credit card bill.
At this restaurant, all of the tips, both credit card and cash,
shared out among the staff at the end of the week.
I've worked in a place before that hasn't done that,
and it's not fair to put in so much and at the end of the day, you're not getting out what you should get out.
But it seems in many restaurants, that's common practice.
Nearly ten years ago,
four waiters at this restaurant took action against the managers,
All ruled in his favour.
He denies any tips will used to pay their weekly wage.
Whether it was credit card or cheque, they got the lot, less tax and insurance.
Not so, say the waiters, who claim they only received a fraction of the tips the customers added to their bills.
On the credit card, after one month checking at the two restaurants,
we realised that he was paying us a third of what actually was on the credit card, in tips.
But now the waiters have found all their legal avenues end in a cul-de-sac.
Some now fear it'll set a precedent about who gets what when the credit card tips are carved up.
So if you want your waiter or waitress to get the extra in their pockets,
then it's best showing your appreciation in hard cash.
