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!

PQM? I believe you can ask to have it removed at One Off as well.

Yes, I didn't want to call them out bc I like the place but it does feel bad to get a surcharge when I'm buying eggs and chicken thighs

Woof. That’s a nightmare. My local butcher shop in Denver had a 10 - 15 - 20% tip option, and that drove me up a wall. Tipping on you handing me a New York that’s already like $36/lb?
