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, 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. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]

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

      In Aus these days if I go to the supermarket to buy food for dinner, just one meal for 5 people, I am not walking out of there spending less that $80

        Yeah I mean the supermarket isn’t a bargain either.

        The only real “deals” I get nowadays are from Costco, and you still wind up spending multiple hundreds of dollars you just get more for your money that way.
