  Not OP but my nerves are definitely worth more than 20 bucks.

    Mine too. I have the nerve to tell them to fuck off with their bullshit.

  It’s a risk reward analysis and not strictly a 1:1 hour pay relation. No one guarantees you any positive outcome here.

  Best case I get the fee removed after a short conversation.

  Worst case, I have to engage in a long drawn argument still having to pay full afterwards.

  best case was a simple mistake and I just have to ask politely. This can be considered very unlikely in this case because the recipient has a dedicated section for the fee, indicating that they’re not going to make any change to the bill. So the risk reward is highly leaning towards the worst case as the expected outcome.

    I’m pretty sure it’s illegal for them to try to make you pay the service charge you didn’t agree to.

  My time is worth way more than 40/h when I’m out with friends trying to have a good time. I’m never going to the restaurant again and that’s it.

  That's like $80k a year. Not that much.
