This is just fucking stupid. If you want to pay your kitchen staff more then just charge a little more per dish. It is that fucking simple. Don't do these stupid little extra "fees" you are just going to piss people off. But if a dish costs a extra 65 cents then they won't probably care at all.

From the post:

>A Texas diner who had saved up to treat herself and others to breakfast was upset after the restaurant added a 'deceptive' fee to her check without her knowledge. The 30-year-old woman took to Reddit on Tuesday to share a picture of her receipt from Paperboy in Austin, Texas, where their bill for three meals added up to $72.03. When she looked at the August receipt, she was dumbfounded to see an additional three percent charge - for a total of $1.94 - added to her bill for 'kitchen appreciation.'

Yes, I've been hit with this for a long time. I actually look for it on the menu. When I see it, I ask for the fee to be removed, if they say no. I leave. The other fee is automatic tips. This one is insidious since the bill asks for more tip and if you forget it was already added, you pay a huge amount in tips since you tip the tip. Then there's the minimum $100 per guest charge. Then stand up service asks for tips too. I draw the line: I refuse to tip for stand up service. Only if I sit at a table do I tip.

Going out to eat is ridiculous. I've cut way back. I've started dropping the alcohol. I pre-load instead. I try to order only enough food that I don't end up bringing food home. I typically don't get desert either.
