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]

That place is already out of my price range before the 18%!

What do they actually pay their staff?

If they do pay them above the norm, idgaf how they show the pricing; on menu is better, but not vital.

But if they're paying the same shit pay as everyone else, they need to have the shit sued out of them for something

Can anyone just fill a complain?

I have a feeling we don't do enough.

It must be something to protest legally as a hidden fee or something. I would put money in a crowdfunding for cases like this.

Citizens against apathy or something.

K, just did my part gonna keep lingering.

Prices for food in a restaurant is not that hard to calculate: you figure the cost of one plate of food, multiply it by four and that is price to be charged before taxation.

One part is for the pantry. One part is for the kitchen staff. One part is for the room staff. One part is for the house.

Not hard to figure.

Drinks and beverages are basically all profit, unless you want to drink water with a refined meal (the healthiest/best option but most people won't), so you will pay for a soft drink twice or triple what it costs you at the store and lets not start talking about wines, beers or, even worse, spirits.

I rarely use tip based services bc it shouldn't be my concern and it makes me uncomfortable. It's always been a bad business model to make the customer feel like the workers are slaves that don't get paid enough. Never understood why people are so into going out to eat with that dynamic unless they enjoyed the power dynamic of it all, dumb serf get my food or you will go hungry muahhahaha!
