I don't return to restaurants that pull this bullshit. Raise your menu prices to provide a living wage or take a hit to your profits.
Or, you know maybe the owner could live without a 5th cottage possibly?? naaaaaaa
That would be the 'take a hit to profits.' Yeah, I don't expect that either. What's annoying is that it is always the very profitable douche bag restaurants that do this. Most restaurants struggle to make ends meat.
Yes, prices on each item should increase. This is just a sneaky way of avoiding doing that. A bunch of dick head restaurant owners tried doing shit like this when my city passed a law making $15/hr the minimum wage with no exemptions for tipped workers. Restaurant owners like Tom Douglas had to raise prices but didn't want to so they tacked on an extra fee and claimed it was a living wage fee but you were still expected to tip just as much. If I was certain that money was actually going to workers, I might be okay with it but there is nothing forcing them to give it to workers. Also, it is straight up admitting that you were paying starvation wages before.
People expected tons of restaurants to close after the minimum wage went up. None really closed and prices are fairly similar to most large cities. Some place did love to a no tip model with higher prices but generally it has been the same where you to 18-20% on the cost of the bill.
So, restaurants might do this to avoid the cost of printing new menus with new prices.
Much easier and cheaper to just put signs at the table or print inserts, especially if you think prices will go up again soon.
But this honestly just looks like they're trying to screw you.
That's literally what they did and you just posted this comment flipping shit because they had the audacity to tell you it was going to the workers.
even in countries that actually pay their staff right, there's no way those base prices don't cover the cost of food, staff and overheads.
then they have the gall to charge a "service charge" to pay the staff.
THEN they have the gall to imply you still need to tip
fuck that to hell
That's not implying anything that's just listing the amount that any given percentage would be if you want to tip the waiter specifically, you might notice that all the percentages are below what's seen as the base for a good tip, save the 15% which is just at it depending on where you're eating at.
The service charge is for the pool for all the staff while the tip on this one is actually a good service reward since they adjusted price to facilitate a better wage, like they literally said at the bottom of the stub.
absolute crazy bullshit. don't stand for that. restaurant price here what you see is what you pay. no stupid surcharges and no stupid tipping. fuck all that
Literally you're being amgy that they told you money was going to the workers
spoiler: it's not
join the first world and just pay them properly without all your fancy extra charges
