Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]
The menu clearly states the service fee.
I love how they try to do it over the “per CA State law” clause so it seems like they’re forced to charge that.
Is this a law for all restaurants?

No need to “tip” then, already included.
“Per CA state law, water is only served upon request”
Because we all know that the biggest contributor to the water crisis: glasses of water sitting untouched at restaurant tables.
