My guy those charges are -not- going to workers.

My guy you have no basis for saying that.

I do, actually! That’s why we saw these service fees pre 82 passing. There is 0 requirement for these fees to go to anyone but the owner, and they are not required to redistribute them to anyone. There were plenty of article pre 82 of folks tagging these onto bills with no raise in pay for anyone, which is where I think we see the ire come from.

My chief complaint as well is that it’s a hidden fee - just raise the menu item price.

We get it dude. You work in the service industry. It's obviously in your interests to continue to beat this drum on every thread on the subject.

It's pretty damn boring to read at this point though - you don't think you're getting paid enough, fuck off and work in another industry.

I don't actually work in the service in the industry. That's why I'm so annoyed about this. People posting in this thread are white-collar workers coming up with reasons to be cheap (but still enjoy the fruits of DC's restaurant scene). In my office job, my weekly pay isn't determined by the completely arbitrary whims of other people. My boss doesn't make up rules to avoid paying.

Change. The. System. Then.

Stop taking aim at customers. A lot of service industry staff make out like bandits, which is why the majority want to keep the status quo.

I don’t think the service industry is full of rich people, no. Get real.

Did I say that?

Did I attribute that sentiment to you?

No I did not.

You should take a moment and actually read responses to you rather than spouting off with your usual diatribe.

You said, "A lot of service industry staff make out like bandits" which is definitely not correct.

Are you okay with the fact that this is a reality in the service industry? If your boss was able to and did make up rules to avoid paying, do you think it's right for your business' clients to cough up your salary? What do you think will stop such bosses from abusing their workers?

You don’t think hearing people post about service fees every day here gets boring to read??? If you’re tired of hearing it just fuck off to another thread
