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]
The service they’re giving you is information. Specifically, information on where to never eat again.
I hate tipping culture, but this is just on another level of bullshit. I’ll begrudgingly subsidize a server’s wage, but there ain’t no way I’m about to help line the pockets of the greedy fucks who refuse to pay a living wage.
