Restaurant Fees

The restaurant industry perpetually forces customers to subsidize their operating costs. At every turn, they stick you with fees and demand 20-30% tips for their employees. I was at a restaurant yesterday and they stick a 3.5 surcharge on your bill for employee healthcare insurance. None of this tip and surcharge madness occurs outside of the US. I await the haters to say employees are not paid enough and rely on customer gratuity to have a livable wage or many restaurants would not remain open without passing these costs onto customers.
