Starting this month, you might find a new surcharge tacked onto the bottom of your restaurant bill.

[artichokegrower]

The climate change surcharge added to the paid parental leave surcharge added to the paid sick leave surcharge added to the medical health care surcharge adds up to the reason so many San Francisco restaurants went out of business last year.

[laconic]

There ought to be a surcharge in San Francisco restaurants for tracking s*** in from the sidewalks.

[ClearCase_guy]

Special extra charge if you order the burrito?

[ChildOfThe60s]

San Francisco is an asylum run by the inmates, located in another country.

This sure is an incentive to travel to SF for the first time in about 35 years.

And this will ‘save the planet’ how?.......................

Keep on taxing, surcharging, etc., etc. and their will soon be nothing left in Cali but extremist leftist progressives, eco-maniacs (all of which make flat-earthers a frakin’ joke), and illegals. GG! /s

[period end of story]

Racist bastards won’t implement an illegal immigrant housing development surcharge!?

[dfwgator]

Out of business in six months, tops.

The SF income distribution curve is bi-modal; meaning most residents are either poor or wealthy. The middle class has left for greener pastures and the poor can’t afford to relocate and for sure can’t afford to eat in SF restaurants. Soooo, eateries will continue to fail except for the few that cater to the wealthy elites.

Get woke. Go broke.

[OrangeHoof]

Simple solution. Don’t eat in San Francisco.

[Alas Babylon!]

Exactly.

Where does the money?

Who’s pocket gets lined?

I’ll bet it is a politician with a D by their name.

[oldplayer]

I wish there was some way they would notice my boycott. But, since I am already not going ever again to SF, my double secret boycott will never be felt.

[Red Badger]

Just another way to screw the public out of some free dough................

[Oldexpat]

Beans and rice are cheap.

[Reagan80]

Let’s be honest; they need the extra funds to pay for someone to scrape the human feces off the sidewalks in front of these places so the patrons don’t track it inside.

[alternatives?]

Is above or below the “no straw discount” on the bill?
