Cons:

Ainda que não tenha nada relacionamento com o atendimento né instalações, não gostei que em todas as zonas( bar, restaurante, spa..) na fatura viesse a opção de deixar gratificação, já com um valor estipulado ou outro. Deixa o cliente sempre numa situação bastante incomoda, assim como do funcionário ao ter que explicar. Se o cliente quiser deixar algum valor, já o fará de uma forma completamente discreta ou não, porém cabe só a ele decidir.
