Why bother adding a % charge. Just raise your prices accordingly. Eating out is too fucking expensive anyway. You get better food quality and cheaper when you cook for yourself.

From the post:

>A 'manipulative' new surcharge is creeping on to restaurant bills and customers are furious about it. The 'deceitful' new fee, that is neither a tax, tip or credit card fee, has been sneaked on to restaurant bills in recent months. It comes as diners become increasingly frustrated by the rocketing price of eating out.

Why? Because if people know in advance how much that meal will cost, they won't order as much.

No thank you to those restaurants who hate me. No to surcharges, kitchen appreciation fees (startpage.com), $100 per person minimum requirement (startpage.com), Credit card required to make a reservation (startpage.com). Welcome the ever expanding fees of the Covid recovery fee (startpage.com). I'm sure these are temporary and restaurants aren't also increasing their prices on top of this.

I just skip restaurants as much as I can anymore. It's supposed to be a "once in a while" thing. It seems like the younger generations have forgotten that.

More likely they never learned that dining out is a luxury to begin with.
