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]

    How come other countries can do it? Why not ours?

    I posted because I want to drive discussions which lemmy sorely needs

      I feel like there’s been plenty of discussion. Everyone knows it’s a problem.

      It continues to happen because there’s no pressure to change it. Just discussions that fall into the abyss of the internet at this point, repeating things everyone already knows.

      Is that really what Lemmy needs? Discussion on a topic that’s been hashed out a million times before? It would be more productive to talk about the weather than to keep circling the drain on this shit ad nauseam.
