We just went to a restaurant today where they added a 10% "Service Charge" on the bill.

That charge is in lieu of a tip (that would have gone 100% to the Server).

We asked them to explain this to us. The Service Charge is divided among the Hostess, the Chef, the Bus Boy, the Server, the Cooks, they each get a percentage.

Then if you want to tip extra to your Server...you may do so and they keep it. Which we did tip extra.

This "Service Charge" would help to pay a higher salary to their cooks, hostesses, servers, etc. And helps them retain their staff.

I think this is fair...and a solution to give all restaurants workers a bump in pay.

ADOPT THIS POLICY AND DEPORT THE ILLEGAL ALIENS!
