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]
I’ve stopped going to restaurants because of shit like this.
My favorite Mexican place that I’ve been eating at for 15+ years is still offering a fair price. I’ve never really paid attention to prices before but it’s been a real kick in the balls lately to dine out! My wife and I can eat there for $20. Vegetable fajita and garden quesadilla with waters. Their delicious salsa is made in house too, not sure about the chips. The kitchen doesn’t always hit a home run but most of the time it’s phenomenal. Not kidding, I feel like I’m taking advantage of them, $20! That’s literally what I paid on date night in 1994.
