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.
Is it even legal to force you to pay more than the menu reads? I know tipping 18% is a social norm now in the states, but you can technically say no to that. Can you say no to this service tax?
The menu clearly states the service fee.
The menu fine prints the service fee
I love how they try to do it over the "per CA State law" clause so it seems like they're forced to charge that.
Is this a law for all restaurants?
“Per CA state law, water is only served upon request”
Because we all know that the biggest contributor to the water crisis: glasses of water sitting untouched at restaurant tables.
No need to "tip" then, already included.
Tipping isn't really a social norm as much as it is a social imperative-- the food is considerably cheaper than it should be because you're expected to make up the cost difference in tips.
A companies shitty business model is not the responsibility of the customer.
It is a social norm. Prices at restaurants are not cheap even without including tips, the amount tipped is decided by social norms, and if i get a shitty service i sure as hell dont tip.
