SB 6875 - DIGEST

 

     Declares that it is unlawful for a "seller," as defined in RCW 82.08.010, to label an amount as a "tip" or "gratuity" when that amount is not a genuine voluntary payment by a buyer in connection with a retail sale.

     Provides that a written computation of a suggested or customary tip or gratuity supplied by the seller as a convenience to the buyer does not by itself convert an otherwise voluntary payment by the buyer to a required payment.

     Declares that a violation of this act is an unfair or deceptive act in trade or commerce and is a violation of chapter 19.86 RCW.
