We need a law that the price stated is the total price like in Europe, including tax, tip, fees, etc.
Or force them to show all price components.
50 cent for meat, 1 dollar for the staff, 3 dollars for the boss, etc
The question should be, if you can’t take care of your workers, why should you be allowed to go into business in the first place?
Also, this bullshit of making the customer/consumer responsible for basic business principles needs to end, now.
If it’s not a scam then add 4% to the prices on the menu.
…why not simply raise your prices to some level where you can afford to pay your employees? Pawning all the individual costs as separate line items on customer receipts will just run people off to better-managed restaurants.
If I go to a restaurant and have anything more than my food + a tip (which I can choose myself) + taxes show up on my bill, I’ll happily dispute the bonus charges with a manager or my credit cards.
It’s because that would earn them another $$$ sign on Google maps or similar. They want to lure in customers with seemingly low prices
The Alamo Drafthouse I went to recently does something like this as well, though it was 18%. They explicitly call it out as not being a tip, so feel free to tip more.
