I recently went to a restaurant and looked at my bill; I'm being told that I must subsidize the wages of the kitchen staff with a 3% tax on the total bill. Then the restaurant charges a meals tax on top of this kitchen tip which is probably not authorized under state law. Interestingly enough, the kitchen staff gets 3% for things they didn't do like pour beverages.

To me, this is nothing but virtue signaling. This pisses me off. They could simply raise the menu prices 3% and then pay their staff more.

If you're a piece of shit, you get the piece of shit treatment. I'm not playing that liberal game of "who's the bigger victim" here.
