Only seven states currently bar “subminimum” pay for tipped workers like bartenders and restaurant servers, but activists see 2024 as ripe to expand the tally to as many as 20.
If it’s non-optional, and they make it clear that it’s non-optional, and the amount is stated. Sure, fine.
I’m just annoyed why they hide the true price from the menu. Why would they hide VAT and non-optional gratuity from it, leaving me to calculate it for myself? I’ve been to countries like France, where they actually have a flat 15% gratuity everywhere. The difference is that it is included in the menu price, so I get no surprises afterwards.
Then I’ll turn around and counter-sue the restaurant, and make the restaurant owner’s life a living hell for the rest of their life. Maybe they’ll even end up on the street after their house gets taken from them.
Counter sue what? They aren’t sueing you and they didn’t arrest you. The legal advice to restaurants is to have the police come even for removing people because that shifts the legal liability.
You can’t just make it up. The courts will dismiss your car and charge you money for the pleasure.
Sure thing buddy. Here you go. As for the charges sticking? Who cares? You just got arrested on holiday.

Because we care about profits more than we care about people.
