Comment on higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs

All the arguments about tipping here are missing the point. The restaurant owner just came up with a bullshit way of raising the prices without showing larger numbers on the menu. That should honestly be illegal.

A lottt of restaurants in socal do this, unfortunately. I’ve never seen it this high, though.

maybe it’s to allow take-away at a lower price, like a dine in vs eat out charge.

Very rare, I’m from Ireland & have only seen it once in a Chinese restaurant. They were very clear about it in the menu though so it wasn’t a sticker shock price

  I’ve seen some restaurants adding a take-out fee recently. It’s fucking insane.

  Reading the article, I’m not feeling too encouraged that this will actually impact small restaurants. From the article it sounds like the FTC is just going after large corporations.

    This is already about to pass in California. legiscan.com/CA/bill/SB478/2023
    
    The FTC is going to write a rule similar to what local governments have given themselves power to regulate. The article gave some examples, but it is not exhaustive.
