It’s annoying because they could price it in up front. A restaurant bill looks like a utility bill these days with all of the line item charges, just include the damn fees in the price of food!
- jghn 2y agoThe argument, which one can choose to agree with or not, is that this allows them to scale BOH pay with how busy the night is. That's similar to how tipping works for FOH staff, but at least in my state BOH staff are not allowed to share in any tip pool.
- maxerickson 2y agoAre they changing the percentage day to day? If not, it scales the same as higher food prices...
- rootusrootus 2y agoIt'll be like cell phone bills, in particular the post-paid variety. I have a line that is using Consumer Cellular, and the plan is ostensibly $20/month. The actual bill is $28.02. Insanity.
