Mr. Tim Fenn:

We are discussing the principle. It is my belief service charges in hotels are largely a thing of the past. Some may still impose one. Hotels may charge for various services such as ordering a taxi or making a telephone call. The hotel charges the customer who pays for the service. Under a separate contract, the business will have an employment arrangement with its employees and pay them based on their employment contract. Insofar as things happen outside the employment contract and outside the contract with the customer such as the payment of tips and gratuities, we are 100% in agreement that all of that money should go to the employees. When it comes to the contract with the customer and the contract with the employee, the business owner is in charge of the destiny of the money he has contracted with his customer.
