Sneaky of the restaurant chain not to just increase menu prices - I would guess the surcharge appears in pretty small print somewhere on the menu and would be easy to overlook. And there’s no way in hell they’d ever actually get rid of the fee. When’s the last time something like a “resort fee”, etc. was ever decreased or eliminated?

On the other hand, it seems weird that Travelers United would have legal standing to bring the case in the first place. Shouldn’t it be some actual disaffected customer(s)? Seems like this organization is using this sort of litigation to justify its existence, fundraising, etc.

Can we have both sides lose, please?

Whatever happened to the idea of just taking your business elsewhere? A lawsuit? I smell ambulance chaser.

Doing this is stupid and deceptive. Just do what everyone else would do and raise the price of your items. There is only one reason any business would do it this way. And that is to make things look better than they are. Yes- It is a deceptive gimmick. Just like when a business charges unreasonable shipping and handling fees to cover a low product price. Same level of slime.

So, businesses can’t act like government and just add fees willy-nilly? I like the “fees for nothing”, shoot that’s half the shit I pay to the government.

Washingtonian still exists?

Must still be a few active lawyer and doctor offices left in the city. That and the obligatory news mention in exchange for a subscription, a perk that is so dear to the Uniparty.

"We have reluctantly chosen to implement a separate 3.75% fee for 2023 with the hope that it can be eliminated in the future as conditions improve..."

For those who are old enough, like myself, it is like reliving listening to FDR all over again...
