What really gets me at restaurants is that they often don't disclose this on the menu up front. I've started taking pictures of menus when I eat out, so when the bill comes and there's a 4% surcharge, I can be sure that it was not disclosed.
I think if you disclose it, it's annoying but hey, free markets and all that. If you don't disclose it and charge people extra, I think that's just downright dishonest.
The upside is that they will take it off 100% of the time - the waiter will almost always do it, and on the rare occasion that they have to get a manager, the manager will always do it. I never bitch at the waitstaff about it, but if they make me talk to a manager, I absolutely bitch at the manager.
- monksy 4y agoYou should be sending the pictures of the reciept and the menu to your attorney general. Typically hidden non-tax fees are not legal if you never mention it early on.
