James Cole, travel expert and founder of Panache Cruises, warns travelers about a common scam used by restaurants around the world to get more money.
As the expert notes, some restaurants, especially in the US, offer their customers to add a tip to the total amount on the check. He advises all tourists to check the correctness of the percentage calculation and make their own calculations. In addition, some companies may try to deceive tourists, hoping that they will not notice that they have paid more than necessary. This is reported by the publication Express.
In addition, he said that in some restaurants it is customary to automatically include a service charge in the bill. At the same time, waiters can keep quiet about it in order to receive additional tips from visitors who do not check their bill. Cole also noted that in some countries, such as the United States, the percentage of tips is much higher than in European countries, so tourists should check the correctness of calculations in advance.
