This has been happening in Florida for a few years now. Restaurant owners went to court so they could keep the service charge. In the beginning I thought it was just a mandatory tip to stop people from stiffing the waiter. Nope they actually expect you to pay 18% plus another 20% for the waiter. Ridiculous. We don’t go out to eat much anymore on principle.

Yeah if I hear a word about my decision to include the service fees in the tip, that’s the last time the restaurant will see my business.

It’s cuz they’re too chicken shit to actually raise the menu price. So they can blame the government or the workers instead of taking responsibility for paying their staff shit wages forever

Yes, Greed., as always. I suspect many industries will completely or partially close in the coming years as the population is just too broke.
