I remember my first meal on my first visit to the US 10 years ago. It was Subway I think. I see a price advertised, but to my shock I paid almost double that. Fee for dining in, sales tax, too.
Where the heck were you that there was a "dine-in" fee at a Subway? I've been to that restaurant in half a dozen states and never seen that.
Actually, I didn't think I've seen any restaurant charge for that, ever.
Also, wtf does that have to do with subscription services and auto renewals?
You didn't pay a fee for dining in. Fuck off.
I know I have been to restaurants that have added a dine in fee to the receipt.
Who knows to whether or not that was legal, but it happens.
You fuck off.
Name one.
Why the hostility? It took three seconds of searching to find an article with dine in fees.

10% and even a tip (though why one would tip a counter worker at Subway, I don't know) does not come close to 'almost double' that the poster claimed, however.
Why the desire to answer the question for other people?
"Why are you standing up for this guy I'm trying to bully?"
I’d like to know one they’ve been to.
Y'all really are all about the cyber-bullying here 😂
edit: post before me had the same link and quote
Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn't Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.
Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That's 100%.
Regardless, there has never been a tax for dining. State taxes are in single digits and varies across states. Maybe you added a very generous tip which doubled your bill and you are calling that as dining tax.
There is a difference in tax sometimes between to go (takeaway) and dining in.
Less toxic when you aren’t talking out your ass, yes.
Please, try to be more respectful.
Rephrase it for me.
Beep boop?
Boop beep.
☐ Be you robots?
Oh, that's evil. A fee for dining in is the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard of. I would be livid.
I would pay for take out and then simply eat inside.
