It's included on your bill whether you want to or not.

Enjoy that bologna and chipwitch togo and add 15%

At least they're telling you about it and not sneaking it in there. Why are you complaining?

ETA: I'm not mad at a restaurant making sure their staff is being taken care of, especially right now. I actually wish more restaurants would do this.

Totally fine with this. In fact I like it. Saves me 5%.

I went to a restaurant that charged a 12% service fee recently AND expected to tip. Snuck it in and said nothing.

I hate tipping. Can't stand it. It becomes such a rote exercise to just move the decimal one space, multiply by two, add to total....

Just price your food what you want to price it at for your business model to work. If it works for millions of restaurants elsewhere, it can work here. Like the metric system.

i mean.....if servers were paid minimum wage or above minimum wage the price of food would increase accordingly. the only problem i have with this is not being able to withhold a tip for shoddy service.

Same here. I normally tip 20% if all they want is 15% that's cool with me.

Cool with me. Tipping is a stupid cultural thing I'd be glad to see go - I'd rather just pay more and have people make wages.

Tipping or not, this place is a hipster cultural cancer serving shite like bologna sandwiches.

They're also fanatical BLM. They say that if you have any uncertainty about whether you align with the BLM movement, this restaurant is not for you. We're supposed to "interrupt our investment in the racist systems from which we benefit." The nice neighborhoods that my parents and grandparents grew up in in NOLA are fricking hellholes now. Interrupt that system and GFY.

I honestly wouldn’t mind doing away with tipping all together.

It doesn’t ensure good service as you tip at the end, and for every bad waitress there are 10 people stiffing them.

Think they are "sorry not sorry" when people take their business elsewhere?

Exactly. I no longer have control over how much I tip if I happen to get really bad service. And I generally tip 20% or more, but if you're putting an automatic tip onto my bill, then I'm not tipping extra, so for my bill, you're costing your server money. I'm not a fan of this model.
