The girl and her pals claim the trattoria staff did not merit the 17-percent tip required of parties of five or more. when it comes to this case, who is right legally? Judge Napolitano debated the legal ramifications in the case on today's Fox and Buddies.
Napolitano expounded there is not any specific court governing on this because the idea of adding tips is relatively new, but he explained that one debate made by the restaurant could be that it was not a tip, it is a surcharge that they were informed of beforehand.
From the other viewpoint, he said, "It has been a custom and practice in this country for centuries ; you like the service, you leave a tip. You don't like the service, you just pay the bill and go, and the amount of the tip is to your own choosing."
Legally, he said the cafe can't arrest these folk and hold them against their will. When talking about locking the shoppers inside the bistro, the judge asserts that is called fake imprisonment, so the lady and her chums can technically sue the restaurant.
