We have a very nice kitchen with two micro waves in my business. I am tired of $25 lunches. I have the finest quinine from my micro wave and read FR and Drudge. Happy as a Tick on a wart hog.

They better be posting that on the door before you go in. If not, they know what they can do with that surcharge.

I would pay it the first time since it’s not the businesses or the waiters fault (unless they are clueless dems, but I would tell them I will never come back and I wouldn’t.
I’ve mentioned before that we got a surcharge on a restaurant bill the last time we went to San Francisco (I think it was like $5... For the homeless). Never going back.

If your restaurant’s overhead increases, why in hell doesn’t management just increase the prices on their menus? What in hell is a “surcharge” being added for? All other labor costs were included in the cost of the meal before the minimum wage was increased. Trying to artificially keep your menu prices down, but adding a charge after the meal has been consumed to the customers bills to cover additional costs NOT listed in the pricing is fraud of the highest order. Will they start charging a surcharge for the electricity and gas used in the restaurant for lighting and heating? How about for the property taxes?

I agree with everyone, but your anger is misplaced. It is the fools in power in Sacramento and other capitols that are to blame, as well as OBOZO and his “AFORDABLE” care act.

Some States have what they call ‘eat in tax’ whether you eat in or not...Mickey D’s did that to me once in PA...never went back to any of them again...

Frankly, if I get to where I need to worry about a 3% hike, I shouldn’t be going out to eat.
We don’t go out to eat very often, except when we travel and even then we have found fun ways around most of it.

My limit is $5.88 per meal including sales tax (no tip). That’s what breakfast costs me at Jack-in-the-Box (with two egg sandwiches).

Our favorite Fish and Chips place has been doing this for six months...your entree is at the listed entree price...and only if you look at your bill carefully do you see the upcharge that is NOT a tip. Most people just pay their bill and don’t even do the math. Sigh.

My wife says she asks waitresses, on the few occasions we eat out (here in WV and PA), how much they make. They always say that, since by Federal law food service is NOT covered by minimum wage laws since they are not involved in interstate commerce, their salary is $2 (two dollars) an hour, and they rely upon the goodness of customers leaving tips to be able to make enough to live on. This was always the case when I knew waitresses decades ago.
I don't see how raising the "minimum wage" affects things in restaurants. But IF for some reason the federal government has indeed taken over the restaurant industry and can actually force owners to pay waitresses $15 an hour, then that is the very moment that tipping becomes an obsolete and outmoded practice, since its economic justification would have disappeared. (But you can still be free to give a free gift to whomever you wish.)

Hey, this $15 minimum wage for restaurants might just be a godsend.
All the restaurants trying to break even with waged employees are going to lose business, and eventually crumble.
The only restaurants that survive will be the employee-owned restaurants with 100-percent profit sharing. They'll be capitalists.
