The hourly wage is a lot less than on the french side. This adding SC is going to shoot these servers in the foot. I think, we that have been going to the island for years should let our favorite owners owners know, we will not be reaching in our pockets for additional tips!! Receipt pads should have listed "Gratuity not included", or included . I had this problem with European clients. They never would tip. So, when I knew they were here on a work visa, I added my own tip to the bill. What is the percentage of Europeans that visit the Dutch side?? If it that much different than the french side owners need to rethink this SC BS!! When I think about it, we were on the island for 17 days and went out to lunches and dinners. Add up all the money that I didn't account for just in tips, that was enough for a few extra dinners!! SMH!!! Isn't there a restaurant association???
