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]

    Sure, but I would be much happier with higher prices printed on the menu than a secret hidden fee at the end of the meal

      Right, while deciding what to eat or whether to dine there at all, you can’t know that this service fee will be added.
