Room Service charges
When I am charged a 17% room service service charge plus a fee........ Why in the world should I be expected to tip on top of that????

1st Room Service prices are usually higher than in the restarunt... that's ok... I expect that.

2nd a 17% "service charge" I would normally tip 20%, but since its already included I guess it is ok

3rd a 2.00 delivery fee What the hell is that?

4th Waiter tells me as soon as he hits the roon...before tray is on table that the "service charge" is not a tip... well that blew it for him.

I know that tipping is expected... don't tell me up front.

Somebody, please explain to me the fees, charges and a DEMAND for a tip on food that is already being inflated in price

I am mad as hell and am not going to take it any more
