From what I understand, if there are 6 people or more in your party (at table service restaurants) then they automatically charge an 18% tip to your bill.

Personally, I hate this idea because I feel a tip should be earned and not expected. Plus, when places do this, I usually just pay the percentage that the restaurant charges me, and normally I never tip any lower than 20%, so the server actually loses on this deal.

Anyway, my question is this: We will have 6 people in our party at all of our 8 TS meals. 4 adults and 2 children (8 yr old and a 1 yr old). Does the 1 year old count since he will not be ordering anything to eat?

Thanks,
Tom
