:17:56. > :17:59.watching tonight is that restaurant owners see this as a way of making
:18:00. > :18:05.more money which does not go to the staff. It is quite reasonable for a

:18:42. > :18:49.how much to go each way. It depends on the circumstances but our general
:18:50. > :18:55.view is that the bulk of thd money should go to the staff. But you
:18:56. > :18:58.would accept that is not working and the money is staying with rdstaurant
:18:59. > :19:03.owners and giving them extr` money on top of the bill? I think that is
:19:04. > :19:09.a generalisation which is almost certainly not true. There are 5 ,000
