Don’t go to Mamalehs. They recently started charging like a 10% additional fee on receipts for “living wage.” Instead of just appropriately, pricing their menu items so that they can pay their employees fairly, they fraudulently keep their prices low up on the menu board, and then tack on the surprise fee on your receipt when you get to the register.

It’s only a problem if you were not going to Tip in the first place, in which case the 10% is making sure those workers get paid.

Otherwise they could raise the price and have it all baked in but honestly it only is an annoyance to those who don’t tip which maybe they are okay with not having your business, who knows?

Anyway, I do agree that we should just pay people.

I wouldn’t tip when ordering a sandwich at a counter. That’s why I take offense at Mamalehs dishonesty.

Do you tip the cashier at Home Depot? How about the receptionist at your doctors office? Then why the person who makes a sandwich?

Don’t get me wrong - I always tip 20%-25% at a restaurant. I tip my barber 30%. But those people put an extensive effort into giving me great service and I choose to thank them in that way. Forcing tips when one is otherwise underpaying their employees is bogus. What’s worse is they don’t tell you until you see it in your receipt.
