c'mon now . . . you know they're still going to tip badly if you just smile and take it . . . anyone who gives it and expects you to take it isn't going to treat you well with a good tip . . . maybe one of those oh-so-humorous fake $20s.
I’m not saying it’s OK. I know someone who did it for 6 months and saw it for what it was. I’ve thought about leaving my engineering job for it though.
That sign makes me stabby beyond recognition. Whiny ass titty babies took a huge pile of PPP money and now they're crying because no one wants to get abused by RWNJ customers for $2.13 an hour and hopes for a decent tip? Fuck right off!
No restaurant around these parts would survive having a sign like that.
The mid and high-end places have all raised their prices over the last 18 months, for multiple and various reasons. Food prices have gone up - and there were shortages of certain products during the height of the pandemic. Transportation and delivery costs went up. We were in lockdown, so many places completely closed for a time and then had to re-tool quite a bit to do takeout only....But the good places are offering higher wages, sign-on bonuses, and other incentives these days.
The only places that are really whining about the inability to find staff are McD's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Arby's, and Wendy's. Too bad, so sad, assholes! But even then, the only sign I've seen was one that said, 'we are short-staffed today, so please be patient if your order takes a bit longer than usual'.
Some businesses can absorb cost increases better than others. The price increases will not be uniform. Small business may be very sensitive to increases in labor costs, if they are in a low margin business, and they cannot make it up by volume without increasing prices.
Given the weird ass fucking weather we've had this year, I expect this will drive food prices up more than agricultural labor costs.
We went through something similar, in the mid-to-late 00's when skyrocketing fuel prices drove up the cost of anything that needed transportation, like food.

If wages aren't rising, there isn't a labor shortage.

"Pfft! That's their insurance company's problem!"
It has already started where I live. Also, wheat crops and local produce are being cut and harvested early due to drought.
so, you've met the human race, have you?
and won't be calculated with the tip if the bill is presented with the surcharge as a line item below the tip line!
