When you get an all-round great meal in London, it’s custom to show your appreciation for an excellent evening with a small tip to the staff. But have you ever thought – who gets the tip? Is it the waiter? The chef? The owner? Or maybe their bank?

but when a different waiter whisks past and snatches the bill. Who gets the tip?!
Since October, businesses can no longer use tips, service charges, gratuities or cover charges to pay the national minimum wage, but the government is concerned that most consumers are still uneasy asking waiters where their tip is goingwhen a different waiter whisks past and snatches the bill. Who gets the tip?!

The great news is that since October, it’s beenĀ illegalĀ for businesses to use tips or cover charges to make up the national minimum wage. The only problem is that the government’s concerned that most consumers are still a bit nervous asking waiters where their tip is going. Now the government is trying to combat our stuffy Britishness and encouraging us to ask – Who Gets The Tip? – with an exciting new campaign to raise awareness about our consumer rights.

Have a look at the video below for a bit more information. For further details about the scheme, have a look at the Who Gets The Tip website.
