higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs

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]

The menu clearly states the service fee.

I love how they try to do it over the "per CA State law" clause so it seems like they're forced to charge that.

Is this a law for all restaurants?

“Per CA state law, water is only served upon request”

Because we all know that the biggest contributor to the water crisis: glasses of water sitting untouched at restaurant tables.

No need to "tip" then, already included.
