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]
I carry cash but yeah I agree it has gotten out of hand. To me a tip should be over and beyond if anything. I remember once when my kids were really little them both managing to knock over their OJ in the same meal. Yes I gave a tip to the mop guy.
