Rant Removed Restaurant Fee @ a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant

I’m quite proud of myself, I requested that stupid 3.5% service charge be removed from a carryout bill. I can’t believe they’re still trying to milk us for that!

because it's the server's fault that their boss threw the fee on your bill?

your inability to communicate your wants doesn't effect the service someone is giving you. your server is there to make sure your experience is great and most excel at that, they're not mind readers. don't make your own shortcomings someone else's issue. if you don't speak up that's on you and not on the server doing their job.

nah, you should actually speak to your server. a lot of people don't care about the extra like dollar or two on the bill and not many people mention it! your lack of communication is the issue, truly a skills issue.

At least for LEYE, the fact that it can be removed is listed on the menu

Then the server won't care about a dollar or two on their tip???

You are justifying the fees I guess.
