Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So... We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn't a grammatical horror to read]

Are you paying your servers a living wage or not? If yes, I'm not tipping.

…only mildly infuriating?!

At least this restaurant due is showing their own ass.

[–] CoolBeance@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I think it's okay if there's a service charge, but it should be obvious like this and tipping afterwards shouldn't even be brought up. It's not the best solution for everyone but it's a step in the right direction of no fucking tipping

This is bonkers. Just include it in the price... I would definitely refuse it and have done it one time, when it was not clearly stated in the menu that service will be added. The waiter claimed it is "a standard fee". No, it's not and should never be.

All I want to know is .. What the flying fuck is a "shazzy" and is it delicious?

[–] Lanfordr@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

The crazy thing is, Los Angeles' minimum wage is already 16.78, and restaurants are required to pay servers at least minimum wage in California. None of this lower minimum for tipped workers. So they are adding at least 18% to that, unless the 18% service fee brings their workers up to minimum wage, which is dishonest, but wouldn't put it past a restaurant to do. After all that, they have the gall to sti ask for a tip!?! It's beyond bs.

Ok yeah what you are complaining about is valid but I can't get over the $22.50 for Kids Shells... Like a fucking a pasta serving for children?! This restaurant seems insane to begin with.

Edit: Realizing it looks like prices are a line off but still $16 for kids food?

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Demand they give the service charge to the server. I’ve done this with a manager recently and he was so embarrassed when it was brought to public attention he promised he would. Then I said, it was simply disgraceful to see an attempt to double dip with a mandatory charge a server wouldn’t see. But I’m a large man, so might not be easy for everyone.

It's great if they include it in the bill, it gets rid of the tipping culture. If they still ask you for tips then tell them to GTFO

Those prices are bloody insane to begin with. >22$ plus tax for chicken wings??? I can eat for 3 days just for that.

[–] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge.

That's exactly why so many restaurants are adding service charges nowadays. It's a way to legally take tip money from servers.

The woman was cheap though

[–] Squander@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

OP post the QR code, I would love to know what restaurant this is, so I can stay clear away.

There's already a service charge, why tip more?

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

$22.50 for kids shells? Please tell me where this is so I can never go there.

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You had a los Angeles woman for only 3.75?
