[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 98 points 2 years ago (2 children) 18% service charge and then still ask for tips? Fuck all of this, this is a scam and refuse to pay this shit. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] freeman@lemmy.pub 34 points 2 years ago (4 children) Based on the bottom of the receipt i would have said to the server something like "great, it says right here no need to tip" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] III@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago What a lovely way to ensure that your customers will never return. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children) How about just raising prices since it is a cost of running the business. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Exactly, it's a linear extra cost so just bump all the prices that much. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Not_Alec_Baldwin@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago But if you tell the customer how much things cost they won't buy as much. It's just layer upon layer of dishonesty. The only time businesses get honest is when the government forces them to. permalink fedilink source parent [–] freeman@lemmy.pub 0 points 2 years ago In a vacuum that would be fine. But in the current culture that likely wouldn’t overcome the tipping standard/culture and may just drive customers away thinking the prices are too high. Unless you have a huge blatant no tipping sign all over the place. This isn’t too indigestible as it stands provided the wait staff understand they are likely to only get a tip for excellent service. But to do this on top of an 11 dollar cannoli. That’s a bit different too. I hope it was like a dozen cannolis. permalink fedilink source parent [–] awesome357@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) That sounds just like tipping, but with more steps. And also the resteraunt skimming a chunk of it too I'm sure. 18% service fee so we can pay 8% higher wages. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WhipTheLlama@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) That sounds just like tipping, but with more steps That sounds like the exact same amount of steps as tipping. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] freeman@lemmy.pub 1 point 2 years ago If anything it’s less steps. You aren’t doing any math or making any judgement calls with a service charge. permalink fedilink source parent [–] badbytes@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago LOL permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago This is probably a hotel or resort. $4 cookie and $6 oj are the giveaways . $11 cannoli etc. permalink fedilink source parent
