"Awkward when a restaurant starts putting a hospitality charge on your bill, and still asks for a tip. Umm.. how about No. YOU pay your servers a living wage, you right 8@§₹ I never mind leaving a 20 tip, minimum, but yuck. Prices are high enough without you trying to shove YOUR costs even further onto customers. A plate of clam linguini damn well doesn't cost $18.50. So, I'm willing to pay it, but I now want to know what you're paying your staff. You don't deserve to have good help, clearly. I won't be back, and I will be talking about this with everyone I can think of. Disgusting. And at $18.50 for a plate of linguini; there damn well should be a cup of soup, or a salad. Not even a crust of bread to sop up the sauce? You wanted to charge me another $4 for some bread? Shame on you. A plate of pasta, no sides no nothing, no salad, no soup, no bread, and I walked out $24 lighter. Sans anything but water to drink. I'll go back to Cafe Jordano, TYTVM. -AND you charged me taxes on that hospitality charge Frieking bull-puckey to have the nerve to charge taxes on that too! And no, I did Not leave anything additional for tip. At $18.50, plus your superfluous charge, and tax, I walked out at $24. If I added a 20% tip; that's almost $10 above and beyond the cost of that plate of food. $18.50 plus $9, $10 in hospitality and tip; that 50% honeys. Nope. Keep your food and just try and keep your staff."
