Dear Mr$.$ Steves:I$\text{'}$m writing this letter to let you know that the waitstaff at the Maine coasts best lobster house would like to bring to your attention a serious problem. Even when us servers have gave good service some customer's leave no tip. Many of us have gotten together and decided to bring the problem and a possible solution to your attention per this letter.Some of the countries finest restaurants which cater to tour groups and well$-$off tourists, have been adding a $20$ percent automatic charge to the bill for years. All such service charges go to the house and every one is paid wages from that. Other restaurants are also printing gratuity guidelines on checks. In fact American Express now provides a calculation feature on it's terminals so that restaurants can chose the tip levels they want printed. In Burope a service charge of $10-15$ percent is often auto calculated, and added to a check.Us servers are of the opinion that a suggested tip printed on checks would work good here at Warren's Lobster House. We know that we give good service but some customers forget to tip. By printing a suggested tip on the check we remind them so that they won't forget. A printed suggested tip also does the math for them which is a advantage for customer's who are not to good with figures. In addition many of our customers are tourists from Burope. Who don't understand our more generous tipping system.Printing suggested tips on checks not only helps customers but also proves to the staff that you support them in there goal to recieve decent wages for the hard work they do$.$ A few customers might resist, however these customers can always cross out the printed tip if they wish. If you have any doubts about the plan we could try it for a $6-$month period, and monitor customers reactions.We erge you to begin printing a suggested $20$ percent service charge on each customers bill. Our American express terminals are all ready equipt to do this.Please let us know your
