It’s the latest way Biden is trying to combat higher prices.

    You didn’t pay a fee for dining in. Fuck off.

      I know I have been to restaurants that have added a dine in fee to the receipt.

      Who knows to whether or not that was legal, but it happens.

      You fuck off.

          Why the hostility? It took three seconds of searching to find an article with dine in fees.

          https://sfstandard.com/2022/09/30/mystery-charge-on-your-food-bill-san-francisco-restaurant-surcharges-explained/

          ‘Dine-in Fee’

          At Che Fico on Divisadero Street, customers pay a 10% “dine-in fee” and are encouraged to tip too.

            10% and even a tip (though why one would tip a counter worker at Subway, I don’t know) does not come close to ‘almost double’ that the poster claimed, however.

      Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn’t Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.

      Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That’s 100%.

        Regardless, there has never been a tax for dining. State taxes are in single digits and varies across states. Maybe you added a very generous tip which doubled your bill and you are calling that as dining tax.

        There is a difference in tax sometimes between to go (takeaway) and dining in.

        Less toxic when you aren’t talking out your ass, yes.
