If they did a good job then yes it is rude. But sadly there seems to be a correlation between bad waiters and automatic tips. Personally, we just pay the tip and never come back

[WhitneySnow]

Kind of. It implies they didn’t do a very good job and aren’t worth tipping.

A 'Service Charge' is not imposed at restaurants in the UK, however if you wish to leave a tip because you appreciate the service you may.

Heh heh. It's a clear statement.

There's nothing rude in mentioning that expectations were not met.

I never gave service charge, they're getting paid after all

[joeldalton]

Did you get service? Then pay the charge.

[Asker]

I do, I have a friend that ALWAYS asks for it to be removed and its embarrassing

[joeldalton]

what a bitch

[Anonymous]

Service charge for what? The tip?

[Asker]

They include it in the bill

[Opinion Owner]

Not likely.
