I like seeing the service included in the bill, it makes it explicit that it's a separate thing from the dinner and something that I'm paying for.

- pavlov 12y agoSo how about separate charges for cleaning and accounting? The restaurant pays for a lot of other things too that are not directly part of the dinner. I don't understand why service should be considered special.
- waterlesscloud 12y agoBecause the service is a direct and prominent factor in your experience of the meal.
- jeremysmyth 12y agoSo are the ingredients, the recipe, and the individual elements of the cooking. I also personally rate restaurants on the comfort and style of the furnishing, the "ambience", the location, and events, if any (a Lebanese restaurant I like occasionally has a belly dancer). None of these are separately itemized on my bill, nor would I expect them to be.
