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 missing that they’re still asking for tips. Yes what you’re saying makes sense and a lot of restaurants do just that … But then they genuinely don’t accept tips still because they’re not needed anymore. You don’t get the cake and eat it too, you either have tips or you have the fee.
