No way I eat chicken that's pink anywhere. Give it to the animals, the dog loves it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Pretty poor rating. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18629 | Just saw as article that said it is not that uncommon for a restaurant to take 3% of the server’s tip if you put it on a credit card. And that it’s for the restaurant, not just the cook or busboy. The complaint the article author has, is there is never any sign or notice that this is being done.

The restaurant is just recovering the discounted amount on the credit card that they actually receive. The restaurant is probably paying 1 to 1.5% on a plain jane card if they do much volume. If it is a cash back/high rewards card then they could easily be losing 3% if they are a small single restaurant. You didn't think that the credit card companies actually pay the cash back did you? They recover it from the merchants. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

That’s not the complaint though. They’re not notifying you that the server’s tip is also paying for a process fee, instead of the restaurant menu charge. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
