You're taking my 18% to pay them living wages, they they don't need tips.
$11 canoli? $16.25 kids shells?
Screw that place
So the patron not only pays for the food/service, but there's a separate fee to pay for ALL employees living wages??
If this trend continues the customers will end up making the food too!? Lol, I would talk to the manager for sure.
In the UK we tend not to tip if there's a service charge.
If they add on a service charge at a bar. I always ask them to remove it. A service charge for me walking to the counter and ordering a drink.... Really!
I would have not paid the 18% fee and let them explain it to the cops when they arrived. I guarantee that’s not posted anywhere that they do that- so…
False advertising.
I frequently see "an 18% gratuity charge will be applied to parties of 6 or more" on menus. It's possible that this was posted and OP just missed it.
Edit: JK just read the text at the bottom where it calls it out as not a gratuity.
It's crazy how it's your job to pay the workers when you're not employing them. Just put the damn living wage into the price of the food, there, done. I'm going to a restaurant to eat stuff, not to haggle the worth of someone's work.
The Ticketmaster economy
The OP should have shared the restaurant, what a dick head of an owner
Germany:
Price indication regulation (Preisangabenverordnung)
All prices stated on the menu must include any applicable surcharges. In other words, the price of the meal is also the final price. The quantity served must also be stated for drinks.
In many jurisdictions it’s not legal to charge this fee unless it’s advertised when ordering such as on the menu or posted signage.
If this was my post, I'd be circling the whole receipt.
fuck tipping culture. Why I never dine in anywhere, unless its a one off social event.
When will people have had enough and demand change? I stopped going to restaurants entirely due to bs charges like this & tipping culture.
I would, however, happily eat at an establishment with higher prices if they paid thier employees well & had accurate menu pricing.
About 95% of restaurants I've been to in Europe have lower prices than this receipt and don't expect a tip.
WTF is going on over there?

Unrestrained capitalism
