Restaurant charges a 5% surcharge to mitigate inflation

[Sad Bunny]

It doesn’t matter. The $6.38 shouldn’t even be there.

Why not?

If they let them know prior, then I don’t see a problem with it.

Most places I go to give you a warning if there is a credit card fee or anything like that

Forget 'tipflation:' Restaurant surcharges for inflation, health care, water are consumers' latest pet peeve

In the face of higher costs, more restaurants are tacking on surcharges to the bill, whether diners like it or not.

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 ?

it should be included on the price of the items you dont add an inflation fee wtf

 

[Tres Leches]

5%? joe biden, powell and the fed says inflation is 3.8% though

 

[Tribal Outkast]

That check before the surcharge is crazy

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

$18 for some macarons

 

[UpAndComing]

They shouldn't have mentioned it on the receipt

But at the same time, the current dysfunction with the Supply Chain is really hitting the Food Industry really hard. Understandable

$22 for a plain salad

Why even bother with the $22 salad if they are just going to order the $9 soda?


Should have done the thing right and ordered the $7 dollar water instead.

the price isnt the real issue...

the hidden fee is....

 

[jj23]

but why advertise it?

everything else you mentioned, do they tack on an explicit fee? or do they just raise their prices 5%?

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

If that happened to me would have came back late at night during a rain storm and thrown a brick through the window.

The cost of living needs to go down

Thought everybody on here was balling. That should be light work for you brehs

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

Looks like the joint sneak-heightened the cost of food already… but decided they can get greedy by adding the 5 percentiles.



But irregardless, while we conversating aboot this, you cant do that to the queen Ralphie anytime of the day.



Especially, in the evening…
