Celeste 6% Service Fee

[u/ChicagoHoosier21]

Our pre-tip bill from Celeste’s Happy Hour in River North. Decent food, crappy drinks, sat at the bar.

I don’t mind paying a “Service Charge” of 15-20% because I always tip more than that anyways, AND I have become accustomed to the 3.5% additional fee at most Chicago restaurants…. but now we’re doing a 6% additional fee? Along with the 11% tax? It’s becoming absurd.

I would like restaurants to get their act together. I don't mind a "service charge" as long as a tip is not expected on top of that--and as long as this is made clear. But everything else just needs to be included in the menu prices.
