Were they black?

If the meal was comped then why would they have gotten a $73.00 bill?
The manager is telling the press this to save face.

Because people are more likely to cheat if they're in a group. Cowardice.

Anytime I've gotten shitty service and have a group large enough to merrit the "mandatory gratuity" I've called the manager over ahead of time and explained that the server was less than stellar and that the tip will reflect that. I have yet to have a problem.

Part of this story is missing on either the restaurant or the patrons' side

No, I hate people.. seriously. I have a handful of close friends and that's all I want/need. I'm a jackass to everyone else.
