A Houston fambily were locked inside a restaurant and the police were called after they refused to pay the tip.

Out for dinner with friends and fambily, Jasmine Marks claimed that the service at La Fisherman was not of the quality that deserved the mandatory 17 percent gratuity in the bill.

That is the amount the restaurant adds to parties of more than five diners, but Mark's complaint was that the staff were rude, their drinks were not refilled and mistakes were made on their orders.

Speaking to the manager at the end of the meal, Marks was astounded as the restaurant demanded they pay the full 17 percent and eventually called the police reported Click2houston.com.

'We axed her, could the gratuity be removed?' said Marks.

'Could we give our own tip?

'If you're not satisfied with the service, you shouldn't have to pay gratuity.'

Explaining that restaurant policy was inflexible, the manager locked the door and phoned local law enforcement.

'She was like, 'You have an unsettled bill and ya'll can't leave until you pay it,' said Marks.

'We paid our bill for what we ate, we paid the bill.'

Only questioning why the 17 percent was mandatory when it was a tip for service, Mark's tried to reason with the manager of La Fisherman.

'She said, 'That's fine. If you don't want to pay the gratuity we have the police outside,' said Marks.

I asked the police officer twice, maybe three times, is it against the law if we don't pay the gratuity and he never gave me a straight answer.'

Speaking to Houston's local KPRC Local 2, the on-duty manager at the restaurant said that they don't have a problem with customers not giving a tip, but they have called the police before.

The issue alerted Houston's Better Business Bureau who have announced that they are examining the complaint.

Consumers need to understand the policy going in,' said Dan Parson, President of the BBB.

'I mean every sign walking in the door. What credit cards do you accept, not accept? What are your hours? Seventeen percent gratuity for the six of you? If you don't like it, leave.'

'They call it the hospitality business, I know you love food, but you got to love the people who eat the food.'

There are Capuchin monkeys that have better social skills than these fucking apes. Or in other words, "pay the fucking bill nigger, we don't take EBT cards here, you self-righteous baboons!"

They may want to investigate the word "gratuity", since they keep using it. That's a mistake.

Those people should "pay" a visit to the police!

I actually think they have a point IF they truly did have terrible service. They did offer to give a smaller tip.

I don't like the automatic tip concept to begin with. Where's the incentive for superior service?

Not really.... many resturants (certainly the better ones) have automatic gratuities for parties of 5+. This is typically clearly stated.

And the reason is.......ahhh niggers just like this!!

Typically it runs anywhere's from 13%-18% and it is auto calculated and added to your check. Nothing wrong with it and if you don't want to be treated like a cow than don't run with the herd.

I'm sure these were typical niggers and they hassling the staff and they probably reciprocated with the minimum standards.

This was completely predictable and I'll say it again - during my university days - no one - even the blacks - wanted to deal with these scum bags. The 'no tip' thing seems to be socially engrained in them.

I have rarely had a bad experience in good resturants with a few exceptions. Probably because I lead with a smile and treat the staff as human beings. Do that and 9 times out of 10 you'll have a lovely experience.

... nes) have automatic gratuities for par...

"automatic" "gratuities"? Um...Engrish, preez.

If they don't want their business sued out from under them, they need to start calling it something else.

Multiple service fee or something of that nature would be more accurate. Gratuity means free or gift. That implies voluntary payment.

Dis fambly gonna make some bank from da restrahnt. false imprisonment or even some form of kidnapping could be among the charges to the staff and establishment. You don't take away a person's freedom of movement because of a billing dispute. La fisherman or whatever its name is, is le fucked. Nothing to do with race.

The Restaurant is lucky these monkeys didn't start tearing up the place and flinging poo.

I don't like gratuities either, but I like it even less when the gubmint (or a pack of cheap, mouthy assed niggers for that matter) comes in trying to tell people how to run their business. If the apes don't like it, then they should stick with McNigger's.
