Any body know anything about Hunter???

[Ski2LiveLive2Ski]

I have never before seen a mandatory tip for a self serve cafeteria

 

[ThatGuy]

Is that even legal to add a mandatory tip?

 

[Ski2LiveLive2Ski]

Lots of sit down places do it for large parties. For a cafeteria it is unheard of.

 

[kingslug]

They just keep fucking it up...more and more..

so its cashless, which is corporate wide. Are you saying that at hunter there is an 18% premium to use your credit card vs bank card? that has to be a mistake in the POS system.

Since they had signs announcing the policy it is not a mistake. Signs just say it is true for credit cards, not that it is not true for debit cards. But I can tell you I avoided the charge using a debit card.

I'm confused, are you saying that if I buy a banana they are adding in a 18% tip on that purchase?

If you use a credit card. It is actually either 18.25 or 18.75 - I forget which

Basically negates the 20% Epic discount

Wow - that is beyond shitty. Still not sure how you avoided it by paying with your debit card, which I am assuming is also a credit card, that just comes out of your bank account.

Credit Cards and Debit Cards are often treated differently as they are distinct financial instruments. This policy applies only to credit cards (which are more likely to charge fees to retailers - but more like 1-2% not 18%). If anyone uses a debit card I am sure they will not get socked with this fee.

yes, gas stations often treat debit for cash price, usually a dime cheaper than the cc price.

Automatic tipping in a self-serve cafeteria? That really shouldn't even be legal...

That's how you get the local high school cafeteria employee to join team Vail.

Don't assume those tips necessarily all go to employees.

Vail is doing their best to reduce crowds at Hunter and they are doing a great job. Belleayre had record visits last year and Windham was so crowded they decided to limit access.

 

[Creakyknees]

Annoying that Hunter food is cash only and adds over 18% tip to any credit card purchases.

Bring your debit card

Are you sure the 18% is only for the bar and not food?

 

[RichT]

When I buy there I say "NO TIP", if they run it with the tip, I wouldn't sign the slip. And while I'm waiting for the manager I'd eat/drink it all. It's against the law to add a tip without your approval. Unless of course they have it posted. If that's the case then I just wouldn't buy anything and would let management know it.

 

[skiur]

If it's a self serve checkout there has to be an option for no tip, they just have it default to 18% and you have no switch it to no tip.

For food at cafeteria. I do not drink at ski areas.

This amounts to a fee for using a credit card not a tip. The only other option is using a debit card. There is no law against this.

Rather than arguing that it has to be something other than I am reporting, just advise us if you go there and find a strategy other than using a debit card that works.
