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]

    You can,

    1. want the owner to take a smaller cut

    2. be willing to pay more to raise the wages of the employees

    3. want to control via tips how much people make

    What is BS is hidden costs.
