[09:20] TR Bot ( status 403 @ https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/ ) [09:24] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: The complaint has a lot of hotdog-related puns and quips. [09:31] IsambardPrince It really pisses me off when the most that any card company could possibly be charging this guy is about 3% and so he decides to take 3-4% off the top for himself which has nothing to do with credit cards at that point. [09:31] IsambardPrince It's just another way some asshole with a restaurant can have false and fraudulent menu prices. Almost nobody carries cash anymore and he even charges the 6% to debit card users where the fees are well under 1%. [09:31] IsambardPrince When I see things like this is just makes me mad, like restaurants, good ones (not a hotdog place, but like think $200-300 for a couple people to eat at), their latest thing is to add like 7% to your bill as a mystery fee, and they remind you that it's not a tip, and they'll take it off if you ask them to. But they know many people are on a hot date or an anniversary or trying to impress a business client at a nice restaurant and are [09:31] IsambardPrince not going to start complaining about the check.

They don't want to raise the prices because then people might not eat there. So they list prices, and then you get a check with the 7% not-a-tip fee and it says because the cost of food, labor, and rent is going up. Like, raise the price of the food, pay the labor and rent. Fuck me. [09:34] TR News Donut Stop gemini://axxuy.xyz/posts/2024/donutstop.gmi [09:35] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: They get away with it because people are not going to embarrass themselves by asking for this to be taken off in front of someone they're trying to impress at a $150 per person Japanese steakhouse chain. [09:36] IsambardPrince It'll look "cheap" if you ask someone to please not steal from you and to just charge the stated price. [09:37] IsambardPrince So I just don't go to those places, ever. I think it's a rotten thing to do to someone who you know will find it socially inappropriate to complain about the check when it arrives. [09:37] TR News Re: No amount of organizing will make me want to do something gemini://idiomdrottning.org/doing-the-work [09:37] IsambardPrince So I just find somewhere else to eat on our anniversary or whatever it is.

[09:39] IsambardPrince So imagine my shock when a guy with a hotdog place was pulling this shit and calling it a credit card fee, which is illegal.
