If I ever saw that, it would be reflected in my tip, if I even hung around.
I would see it as the tip.
We very rarely eat out any more so this is really a non-issue for us.
That’s the point. Since minimum wage is increased my tips will be smaller.
Been here in LA for a couple of years.
Reduce your tip accordingly.
I was using orbitz or a similiar site to look for hotels at a popular destination. I thought I saw a nice deal at a quality place. The hotel adds on an extra $25 a night “resort fee” adding another 20%-30% to the per night rate. I hit the go back button on the browser.
I would say, this would shoot the hell out of the practice of tipping. Many restaurants already put a charge of 18% on the bills for large parties, so it is something of a vexing problem.
Eating out is going to become one of those quaint customs abandoned by the culture as a whole sometime early in the 21st Century, much like opening doors for comely ladies was abandoned in the latter part of the 20th Century. Nobody wanted to observe it any more.
sorry waiters....you are going to loose....
it'll help the fast food places but places where people tip, not so much...
you waiters are going to loose your EIC plus cheap college grants because you make more money now and you are going to loose your good tips, which were mostly under the table anyway...
True.My habit is to tip somewhere between 15 and 20%.But seeing a "surcharge" like this at a restaurant I liked wouldn't drive me away...it would,as with you,lower my tip.
