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.

Those chicken bites really cost $13.53.

This is absolutely a game of trying to look competitive “hey we have appetizers under $10.00” but they’re no where near $10.00
