TYRONE GA!
Exactly. If it's mitigating inflation add it to the food costs. Don't be upset if someone chooses not to tip because of that BS.

Looks like they don't want to adjust the prices on the menu to reflect inflation like everyone else does but they think adding it to the end is a good idea. Madness
Yup

Don’t wanna reprint menus and update prices on the website and food apps.

Just to be clear, you pay extra for toilet paper, food, gas, movies, entertainment, alcohol, parking, gyms, clothes, technology, leisure shyt, travel

but if a small business wants to ask for more to battle inflation, its a problem ?
You just compared apples to a cheesesteak. :comeon: People clearly understand what they are paying for on the items listed. Restaurants are adding charges people are unaware. I've seen 18% gratuity on bills for only two people or other surcharges added on bills.

They should just raise their prices then. That surcharge looks stupid. And they clearly already raised their prices.

I feel that if I'm spending $7.50 on a latte, I wouldn't really care.

It makes sense that the price is high by the way. The internet loves crying about how people in the service industry aren't paid enough but then want to pay peanuts for said service.

The money has got to come from somewhere.
Huh, inflation by definition is already reflected in the prices of the items you buy. They don't get to invent an additional inflation surcharge when they are already selling you a latte for 7 dollars:camby:
