Yup. This seems like a terrible long term strategy. If I'd eaten expecting $X, and the total is now $X + $Y, and they have the nerve to remind me it's not a tip, I'm probably not leaving a tip, and I'm -definitely- not coming back.
Most cities are rather static in populace. This is a great way to see yourself out of business for a tiny short term profit.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoSome restaurants get the vast majority of their business from tourists who would never be repeat customers regardless. Those restaurants might think they can get away with such fees. But those restaurants are highly dependent on Yelp reviews et al; such fees are a great way to get bad reviews.
