Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]

      What do you mean? A house in the city is almost always more expensive than a house in a rural area, in every country

        Yeah that’s not what I meant, more like there are not many first world countries with affordable housing in any sense (like Germany and Canada)
