higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs
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]
You're viewing a single thread.
It's great if they include it in the bill, it gets rid of the tipping culture. If they still ask you for tips then tell them to GTFO
They should then adjust their prices by 18% on all items and not have this bullshit on the receipt. Let the customer choose when ordering how much they are willing to spend instead of this. It will make the process much clearer and avoid confrontation. Bad judgement on the owners.
I agree, but I'm okay with this as a compromise. I'm in Seattle and we've been fighting tipping culture for a while now. I'll take an 18% fee over those bullshit "suggested tips" that are now starting at 25%
I think the service charge bit, that is widespread as an alternative to tipping in Europe, makes a lot of sense in general.
Key word in the above sentence is: alternative
Exactly...
This to me sounds like ;
A High tax
A High tip
A High hidden fee((At least to me ... I am not poor, but I am cheap / frugal at least when it comes to food))
