higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs - Lemmy.world

Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, you need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge.

You know what, I’m going to go the opposite of this. Why in the hell are you dining out and paying THAT much to dine out? Here I am griping because recently I paid $12.83 because a chinese buffet usually charges me $11.76 but then I see receipts like this shit and realize that maybe I am better off.

If I was paying triple digits for food, I’d be making damn sure it had better be the best damn tasting food served to me or I wouldn’t leave until it was served to me.

God, people need to cook more. You can gather so many ingredients for the amount you’re paying and have several weeks of meals for the month.

Go to a high COL city, and you’ll be paying $50 or more for your Chinese buffet.

Maybe you would. I’ll be cooking rice at home.

I wouldn’t actually. I don’t like buffets.
