The web discusses the restaurant in Saint-Tropez, where a tourist was demanded 500 euros in tips
In a restaurant in Saint-Tropez, an Italian tourist, who thought he left a generous tip, was outraged by the behavior of the waiter, who demanded to double the amount offered, reports the Daily Mail. After this case in the Network tourists discuss sharply increased prices in establishments in the fashionable resort.
The employee of the institution caught up with the visitor in the parking lot, said that the left gratitude is not enough, and demanded to add the same amount to 500 euros, which would be 20 percent of the bill. The waiter claimed that the minimum tip in a restaurant in one of the world’s most expensive resorts is 1,000 euros. A French friend of the outraged tourist noted that he “thought he was a generous customer, and he was reprimanded.”
Tourists admit that next year they are unlikely to return to the city. The resort’s mayor, Sylvia Siri, even organized a meeting with restaurateurs, urging them to “greet customers with more dignity.”
St. Tropez is a popular vacation spot for the rich and famous, but this year prices at the resort are upsetting guests, the publication writes. Tourists say that some restaurants require a deposit of 1,500 euros per person when booking a table. In other areas of the French Riviera, many establishments expect that the bill from the table will be at least ten thousand euros.
Moreover, restaurant staff remember their customers and if they did not leave a good tip last time, they do not make reservations for them.
