Couple Arrested For Failing To Pay Tip

Pa. Couple Arrested For Failing To Pay Tip
College Students, Among Group Of 8, Refuse To Leave Gratuity Due To Poor Service At Lehigh Pub; Business Has Mandatory 'Service Fee' For Large Parties
BETHLEHEM, Pa. (CBS)
A pair of college students were arrested for failing to leave a tip at a Pennsylvania restaurant.
Two Pennsylvania college students were arrested after staff at a restaurant where they dined called police about the couple's refusal to leave a mandatory tip.
Leslie Pope and John Wagner were dining with about six other people at Lehigh Pub in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in October when the incident occurred.
The pair insists service was so horrible that the last thing on their mind was leaving any kind of tip.
They claim they had to wait at least an hour for their order, fetch their own silverware and beg the barkeep for drink refills.
"Gratuity is thanking you for your service," Pope, 22, told the The Express-Times online newspaper. "You can't give us terrible, terrible service and expect a tip."
The business reportedly charges a required 18 percent gratuity fee for parties of a certain size.
But Pope told The Express-Times that they were being told to pay $16.35 in addition to their $73.87 bill -- pointing out that the calculated service charge was much higher than 18 percent.
It was unclear why Pope and Wagner were the only ones of the group cited for theft of service. They pleaded not guilty to the charge and are awaiting their trial date.
The Express-Times say management for Lehigh Pub refused to comment on the story.
