... if you feel sorrier for the valet parkers than the owners do, you should still tip. Miss Manners does.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I have gone to several restaurants that have valet parking. When walking into the restaurant, there is a sign saying that there is an $8 service charge for the parking. Do we just pay the service charge, or do we give a tip in addition to the charge?To Miss Manners, and in standard usage, it means that the price of service is already on the bill.
Therefore, if you feel sorrier for the waitstaff or the valet parkers than the owners do, you should still tip. Miss Manners does. That is not to say that she lacks sympathy for the trials of the restaurant business. If food costs the restaurants more, it is only right that they charge more. But she could do without that little subterfuge.
