Mr. Adrian Cummins:

The Bill seeks to remove any confusion. It will be very clear to the customer when he or she arrives at a venue what the tipping, gratuity and service charge policy is. That is why we welcome the Bill. To reiterate my previous comment, the service charge is part of a contractual agreement between the business and the consumer. It must be very clear to the consumer in advance that it is part of a contractual agreement. Perhaps the public needs to be made more aware of that aspect.
