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.

Of course the customer can levy a surcharge on the restaurant by reducing the tip by the amount of the restaurant’s surcharges.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that maybe Californians are smart enough to recognize fake charity, which is why the state forces upon the citizens.

How about surcharges to ‘save the polar bears’... oh wait, that BS has been disproved.

Maybe a surcharge to save us from an ever widening ozone hole...oops that ones been disproved too.

I know - they can charge more to save us from acid rain... forgot - that was BS too.

Guess they’ll have to stay with ‘global warming’ for a few more years... until that one’s trashed on their heap of total ‘sky is falling’ failures...

Don’t avoid these restaurants. I suggest forming a group that goes to places like this and orders their most expensive meals, eats them, then walks out without paying.

Instead of a 1% surcharge, these leftist restaurants could simply ask people if they’d like to donate to some “climate justice” cause and let them choose the amount. While still obnoxious, it would likely result in fewer complaints, and I’m willing to bet that they’d actually bring in more than the 1% surcharge would.

But, as we know, the Left is all about control. And I doubt the money will actually go where they claim it’s going to go.

And then they will wonder why their daily customer numbers dropped.

Just one more reason not to visit the S**thole by the Bay, formerly known as Baghdad by the Bay.

One more reason I’m thrilled to NOT live in SF. Or CA for that matter.
