The strangest thing I've seen was a mandatory ~5-10% charge that explicitly wasn't a tip and wouldn't go directly to workers, but instead went to the owners so that they could "provide sustainable wages to workers" I'm not against paying reasonable wages, but that should definitely be, you know, part of the actual menu price.
