Comment on higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs
Lonnie123@lemmy.world 10 months agoIts a bit of bullshittery (again, assuming all that money goes to the staff here), but ultimately its the same thing as raising the menu prices 18%. My hunch is that people would scoff at the prices if they listed them on the menu and wouldnt go there, so they do this as a way to offset that.

Yeah, people would be less likely to order food there if they knew that everything on the menu is more expensive than advertised, imagine that! It’s almost like people don’t being swindled under obviously false pretenses!

I just mean to say that what people SAY they want, at least online, (better pay/benefits for employees, no more tipping) is at odds with what they actually expect and will tolerate to see on the menu. This is done in a very shitty, maybe even illegal way, but it does draw the direct line from the higher cost of the food to the higher pay for the staff.
They also have the tip option which adds an even further layer of BS to it.
Im not supporting this in any way but it is a way to break it down for customers to show them without tips this is how much extra it would be.
