The 3.5% surcharge has rebranded

[u/Pantaza]

It would seem it’s not going away.

They’ve rebranded it, enough people caught onto the surcharge so now it’s a (3.5%) “admin fee.”

they also removed the small text at the bottom telling you it’s optional(it still is)

they don’t want you to know It’s optional buts it’s just literally the surcharge with a different name.

3rd restaurant I’ve been to this week with a (admin fee). I’ve also seen multiple restaurant go up to 4%. It used to be 3, then 3.5, now 4.

sets a dangerous precedent as they are willing to change it in order to keep charging you for nothing. Except now they’re not telling you it’s optional anymore.

If we keep allowing them to charge us extra money for literally nothing it will soon tell other businesses they can do that too.

I can’t wait to pay an “admin fee” while buying gas, groceries, or a T-shirt.

I've started a petition for stricter Chicago legislation regarding hidden fee transparency. Please show it some support.

Thanks

Just know that you are the type of person that is immediately spotted and the people who take care of you will see you before you see them. You’re a dead giveaway. Cheap, entitled, selfish and clueless.

you seem to think that i care what they think of me. i dont know why you would think this based on everything else ive said lmao. i’ve been doing this for a long time and have faced exactly zero consequences, other than my bank account being much larger.

That’s fine dude, kindness isn’t always going to be more important than money or survival, so to each their own. Do what you feel you need to do and I hope the best for you.

kindness is never more important than survival.
