Isn't min wage here like 38 dollars?

If I see this on my receipt, I'm stealing your cutlery, simple as

I haven't ordered that so I wouldn't pay it. Can't just surprise people like that after the fact. Btw raise the prices if you can't afford to pay staff a decent wage because you're greedy

Out of business you go you greedy kikes.

That means we no longer have to tip

>>507500209
Fine by me

tipping is fucking gay.

>Uh I dont need to pay you legal wages because of Tips. You will get tips. So go get em tiger'


If your restaurant cant survive on servers getting legal pay, you are exploited labor and shouldnt be in business

go for it.

Since /pol/ has been filled with socialist fags? Reddit invasion. Accountant here, business barely make any margins. The cost of goods have skyrocketed in recent years.

>>507499765 (OP)
thats btter than a tip. just pay the fee and tip 0%

>>507499765 (OP)
really is wealth redistribution
going out to eat is now funding a welfare program

fuck them the restaurants already charge $10+ a beer and $20-30 for a plate of food

anyone who still goes to restaurants is either rich or retarded

>>507499765 (OP)
based?

>>507500467
That would be REALLY funny if servers go along with this bullshit. Since it won't be labeled as a tip, there will be tax on it. What a bunch of retards.

>>507499765 (OP)
Waitresses are one of the worse forms of human being. Especially the wild Canadian waitress who already gets minimum wage, but gets ass hurt when you don't order 20 pints of beer and pay her $200 in tips. How day you consider having a simple meal.

>>507500209
>>507500467
you do have to tip otherwise you're punishing the workers. Why would they add a new fee just to remove another one?

>>507500955
>>507500955
Don't get caught?

>>507500209
Unironically the living wage fee would be a better alternative. I never want to deal with tipping again. That being said, I don't know why they don't just lump the fee into the cost of goods and then inform people that they make enough and tipping is optional.

>>507499765 (OP)
Last time I saw something like this, it said something like
>Living wage fee/service fee does NOT count as tips and does not excuse you from tipping

Brazil is kinda like that except it's 10-13% as a "suggested" tip.

>>507501807
Yup

>>507501275
The fat like owner will take all that living wage fee. The only tip that counts is a cash tip.. but tipping should only be for extraordinary service not for to support some foreign workers slave labor

>>507499765 (OP)

Or don't eat out. I don't like tipping culture in America, your boss should pay you more to makeup for tipping.

I eat at home and its healthier for you

>>507499765 (OP)
Fuck is a living wage fee and is this sit even legal?

>>507500158

isn't that what they're doing?

>>507501731
you can't do that.

>>507502258
the owner will just keep the fee all to himself, we know how the jewSA works

Passing the added cost onto customers. real classy. keep the profit % the same at minimum, ideally increasing

>>507502068
it's to give to the workers so they can afford to live and the customer pays for it. Can't you read?

>Passing the added cost onto customers.
It's always passed on to the customer. It's not a caprice, it's math.
They could use cheaper ingredients, so you'd pay in health and quality instead... the cost is still passed on indirectly, you've paid the same for a worse service.
It's inescapable math.

Charge higher prices then.
Let people decide upfront if they want to pay rather than being slimy and trying to stick the tip in afterwards.

If that causes you to close up shop, then oh well.
You aren't privileged to a profitable business.

What the hell happened to Canada?

>>507499765 (OP)
I'd rather have this than deal with tipping culture
Min wage in my state is already over $16/hr, I don't think FoH deserve another $20-30/hr+ in tips only given due to social obligation. Servers make more than the head chef at most restaurants, and the line cooks who bust their asses make between $17-21/hr with a measly 1-3% tip share.

>This is clearly the go-customer's fault. They must pay the rest.
>Yes mr shekelstein you're right, the customers will pay for this

>>507502258
Nope. They should just include tax and any fixed fees into the menu price. By trying to add an '18%' fee ontop, they are trying to obscure their actual prices. Essentially a Jew adding unknown banking fees in fine print.

If you've ever been to Europe or Japan, eating out becomes farm less stressful because you know EXACTLY what you will pay. Rather than seeing your bill double / increase by one third after eating (if you comply with tip culture).

>>507499765 (OP)
add all the fees you want still not buying your overpriced slop

>>507503037
This is what it is? Getting charged more. People asked for transparency here it is.
If we just jacked up the price they'd call it "price gouging". So the fee reflects the labor cost. Fair game.
Fuck socialists

>>507501135
>business barely make any margins.
Yet they still prefer to be business owners than shit wagies.
Strange, no?

>>507503904

That's fine. I tip very well and my policy is if they add it themselves, that's what they get. Gj getting less money by trying to impose it.

I watched my little corner shop go from $10 pastrami sandwiches with free chips and a drink to $18 for just the sandwich, and they got rid of all their groceries (I used to walk over for fresh fruit for my smoothies) to make more dining space. Just in 2-3 years. I never go in now.

>>507504024
>If we just jacked up the price they'd call it "price gouging".
So what? They are free to say that.
If they are dissatisfied with the price they can go elsewhere.
>So the fee reflects the labor cost
Aren't the actual prices supposed to reflect the labor costs?

>>507501135
Potatoes are 5-6 bucks for 10lbs. Realistically they probably get them cheaper buying in bulk. They still charge 4 dollars for what amounts to probably 1-2 potatoes for an order of fries. There are anywhere from 12-20 potatoes in a 10lb bag. Let's just call it 16. 16 potatoes divided by 2 per fry order is 8. 8 times 4 is 32. 32 minus the 5/6 in cost (you know it's cheaper but for argument sake) is 433% profit margin. This isn't even getting into the massive amount of profit is in drinks or if they serve alcohol. These fuckers are not hurting for money

>>507504523
Libertarianism is about letting people do what they want. If a private business wants to charge fees then they are free to do so, and people are free to give them their business or not.

If leftist fag customers want to virtue signal, then let us charge them 18%

and I will continue to not shop at these places.
ensuring they continue to not have a living wage.

You want to make money, get a job that is an actual essential job and not a meme job.

>>507504523
Business owners have no problem closing down and selling if the business doesn't make them 2 to 3k a month after expenses. If they're still the owners of that business it means it makes enough money for them to not jump ship and invest in something else.

Illegal if they don't make it clear, from the start, that there is an extra service fee.
Also, if owners weren't such faggots, they would simply pay a living wage to their workers, adjust their prices accordingly and promote their "tip-free" restaurent.

i mean, it is a sound, sustainable business model at the cost of shitting up a few things.

>>507501135
Since redditors demand a high minimum wage floor, it would be smart for restaurants to keep the standard U.S. tipping practices. This is a way to make the prices look artificially low on the menus then shafting the customer after the fact. Bonus jewery if the restaurants also raise their food prices anyways

>>507501513
Just pay your goddam employees and raise your prices if needed and stop Jewing your customers with hidden fees and bullshit

>>507506241
Because America has a culture of getting raped by hidden taxes and fees and Americans love it

>>507505060
The amount of zoomers and millennials that love mid food for high prices is something to behold.
Everytime I go out with others in my age range or a little older, I'm universally disappointed at where we end up, not necessarily because of the food but what you end up paying.

I guess the good hole in the wall places are too mentally draining to find. So its easier to find someplace that looks vaguely upscale instead.

>>507506343
well that would be better, but lmao why would they do that when they can advertise lower prices but then hit you with fees and virtue signal their support for a living wage all at once?

what we need is a federal law to make minimum wage in every municipality a local living wage

Is it 18% for dining in?
I'd stab a fucker if I got to go or drive-through and saw that kike shit

I go to one small diner outside of town once in a while for breakfast with my mom. If it weren't for her, I'd never set foot in a restaurant. Fifteen percent is fine and there are no signs posted anywhere and the receipt doesn't look like a fucking divorce decree.

What other business can you walk into where employees are always at war with management and both are always at war with you.

>>507500158
unless there's a sign that says so yes you are right that is illegal to pull that shit, same with not accepting cash without prior notification

>>507506644
I only pick up now, tip them 1 dollar for appearances because it actually is good to keep relations with people you are regularly buying from.

That being said I only eat out twice a week and it's quite literally the same two places that i've been getting food from for the last 12 years.

If we get to the point though that I see someone have to tip for fast food. I'll pretty much solely eat at home.

Leftist shithole dweller here. The even more left, more shithole city where all airport parking is located charge that "living wage" fee.

Appropriate with niggers.
They'll just dine and dash anyway.

>>507507125
If these people are making Server wages, which is normally $4/hour, it's reasonable to tip.
If these are regular fast food, it's nice to tip, but in no way expected, nor deserved, All the service work is done by yourself. The 4 feet from the Trough to the counter isn't serving someone a meal, getting them water, etc.

>>507507561
I mean like I said, if it's that bad I'll just eat at home permanently.
I can cook as well as my wife, if she NEEDS that feeling of not worrying about food. I can make it happen.
It will get to a point where eating out will be a special treat again instead of a regular occurrence.

Total systematic collapse.
Goodluck with those art degrees democrats, sure that will really help you.

I don't eat out on principle. Tipping culture is retarded in the US. But something I noticed that is bizarre; americans get off on it. They completely buy into having their asshole tongued for 30% tip lmao its unreal
