Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]
Everyone should stop eating out. Let the industry die.
These surcharges should be illegal. They should start requiring restaurants to put the full up-front price on the menu for menu items.
If only we lived in a country that puts working class people first. You know. The wealth creators.
Lol, sure. Those of us who have friends and want to hang out will instead just stay and eat at home on the weekends like anti-social hermits.
You can do those things without being a consumerist bootlicker dude.
Lol, going out to eat hardly makes one a consumerist bootlicker. It’s a service industry anyway, you’re not buying goods.
The issue isn’t bars or restaurants, it’s tipping culture and fair wages, which are problematic everywhere. Might as well ban all video games, due to poor worker treatment and the methods some games use to extract money from players.
Agreed. I mean, I don’t get people’s poor financial choices. They want to live lives they don’t really have and pretend they’re people whom they’re not.
