@rotuts Right-on. Exactly. The restaurant industry profits by fostering a bad work environment and crappy pay for long hours and then, instead of reforming itself, it guilt-trips its customers to clean up the industry's mess.
Multiple bad business decisions.
It would sit better with me if they had a notice saying " we've raised prices 10% (or whatever) to pay a fair wage to our staff".
BTW I tip 20% as a minimum.
