Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I’m ordering.

    Work a Sunday brunch shift and watch the raft of churchies leave nothing but condescending notes, if anything.

      Holy shit. They give god 10% of their income. This server is “asking” for 18% of the price of their bill. They’re not even remotely the same thing.

      I’m generally against tipping, but still do it. I’m way against illogical comparisons like this though.

        It’s called tithing. It’s described as giving 10% of your income or possessions to god in the Old Testament.

          I’m aware of tithing. I’m saying that 10% of your income in a tithe is not even remotely the same thing as 18% tip for a single purchase. It’s more comparable to a sales tax than a tithe. One is percentage of a total income, the other is a percentage of a purchase.

        Parties of 8 or more often have gratuity on the bill like this. It’s rare to see it otherwise, unless there’s a particular reason (like they know these people never tip).

      It gets worse than that.

      Some of them leave these on the table. Carefully concealing the deception, of course.

      That’s not even the only type they have available to them:
