ProConsumidor, the governmental consumer protection agency, has ruled that food businesses cannot charge the 10% legal tip on take out or delivery bills.
Anina del Castillo, director of ProConsumidor, said the 10% legal tip should only be billed if the food is consumed within the premises of the business.
Del Castillo said they are awaiting a ruling from the Superior Administrative Court (TSA) to start penalizing food businesses that consumers report are charging the 10% on take out and delivery bills.
