• We've all seen the restaurant notices about automatic gratuities added for parties of more than six or eight people.
A 10-person group in South Bend, Indiana, thought they would beat the system at the Wild Crab restaurant by splitting into two groups of five, WSBT-TV reported.
A manager said the group was informed that they'd be subject to the 18% gratuity, even though they were seated in different sections of the restaurant.
As the party left the restaurant, someone threw crayons at the manager and pepper-sprayed them.
Firefighters responded to help the victim of the pepper spray, and a police report was filed. [WSBT, 1/2/2024]
