Even if you were charged an involuntary gratuity at any businesses youve patronized, was the service you received good enough for you to have considered giving a tip anywhere near the size of the one you were charged? Yes, at one business, at least

It was my recent experience at a restaurant I tried for the first time with food and service that impressed me greatly where I encountered my first involuntary gratuity. Have you ever patronized an eatery for your first time without knowing you were going to be charged a tip you may or may not have left voluntarily? Yes (and I may describe such an experience in a commetn)
