I’d think my wife, as a teacher would be envious of the pay check coming after that

They spelled cappuccino wrong – which shouldn’t be consumed after 11:46am. Otherwise, everything looks fine.

and while i would like to insult their wine choices, anyone who orders two jerabaums and a methusala of champagne is alright with me (but i do hope the restaurant bought those wines from rudy k)

Here’s another picture of the receipt where you can see more of it, including the VAT breakdown (two levels, one for food and one for wine, apparently):

Clearly, VAT and gratuity are two separate things, both included in the final bill in France.

There is no date on the ticket and restaurant registration number, it is mandatory in France.
BTW: the VAT and the tip have nothing in common.
VAT is like tax state.
Tip is always included in France and EU in general.

7,000 EUR / person, for just caviar, fish/lobster and Dom Perignon Rosé (at 10,000 EUR / 75 cl) seems ridiculous even in best, hottes clubs on French Riviera.

Now, if someone has billions, I don’t see any problem if they agree to pay 25 times the price for anything. It is a fair way to redistribute wealth.
