The FTC should crack down on these stupid charges.. plus the entire idea of tipping is gone in the modern era because tipping has become so overblown and exaggerated for the most idiotic things. You know a counter order and service restaurants pops up that I should give a tip a tip for what doing your job? No one thinks about tipping the Walmart shelf stocking person but they're effectively doing the same thing they're putting the item on the shelf so you can go get it and check out and pay for it all yourself.
Any restaurants that includes a service charge on my bill and then also puts a tip line I circle the service charge and cross out the tip area. Because that's what the tip was supposed to be a gratuity for the table service. Really that should just go away too people should be able to look at a menu and understand the price understand the local tax for their area and understand what they're paying and that's it. If there's a dispute with workers and their wages that's not a dispute with the customer that's a dispute with their employer. As a customer I'm offered a price for a good or a service and I can evaluate that price in the free market and accept or reject that. If you don't like your job get a different job.

- elmerfud 2y agoYes I've traveled abroad extensively and as a tourist that's nice it's a just know that the price I see is the price I'm going to pay. As a local I like understanding how much of my payment is going to tax. I really wish gasoline tax in the US was shown what it is at your gas station when purchasing it. And knowing the amount of money you're giving away in tax should be an incentive for most people to be more involved in their government at all levels.
