What is the "Gratuity Already Included Scam" scam in Nice?

Question

Accepted Answer

Some waitstaff in tourist areas insist that a tip is not included when it legally is, or aggressively push for extra gratuity on top of the service charge already on the bill. In France, service ("service compris") is legally required to be included in restaurant bills. Check your bill — if it says "service compris," no tip is required.
