Comment on Restaurant Bill
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 months agoLook at how the tips were calculated. They were based on a bill of $95.65, the price of the meal before the service fee.
This service fee allowed them to increase the price of the meal by 18% without increasing the calculated tip by 18%.
They are stiffing their employees.

Alternative option: the service fee is the tip because there’s no way I’m paying more than what’s on that bill.

That just fucks over the waitstaff without harming the business at all.
Best option is to walk out as soon as you see notice of a service fee. It should be printed on the menu or a sign posted on entry.
