Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]

      It’s pretty much the dictionary definition of bait and switch fraud, yeah. Whether it de jure is in a legal system so obviously disfavoring workers in the vast majority of cases is another matter entirely, though 😮‍💨
