The Good Food Guide and Wine & Dine supports tipping change As the Government announces today that the practice of using tips to top up restaurant staff pay to minimum wage levels will be outlawed, The Good Food Guide editor Elizabeth Carter, says: “When you leave a tip for good service, you expect it to be used to reward the staff that served you. Restaurants that use tips to replace wages are not only cheating their staff, but also misleading their customers, so it's high time this practice was outlawed.” As the new regulations will only come into effect in October 09, The Good Food Guide advises all customers to tip in cash until then so that it is more likely that this money will reward good service and not be used by management to pay staff salaries. Wine & Dine would like to see the French system, in France a service charge is added by law and is paid to the staff. No shilly shallying the customer knows where he is as does the server.
