How do I dispute gratuity?
How do I dispute gratuity? If you've inadvertently signed a bill that agrees to an automatic tip, or if a server or employee refuses to remove an automatic tip, politely ask for a manager. That person usually has the authority to override the gratuity. If all else fails, dispute the charge on your credit card.

Is it rude to not tip in England?
Generally no, but it would really depend on what you're tipping for. If you're buying a pint for £4.80 and pay with £5, then “keep the change” is definitely not rude. There's no social expectation to tip in a pub. Outside of restaurants, there really isn't much of a tipping culture in the UK.
