[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children) How about just raising prices since it is a cost of running the business. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Exactly, it's a linear extra cost so just bump all the prices that much. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Not_Alec_Baldwin@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago But if you tell the customer how much things cost they won't buy as much. It's just layer upon layer of dishonesty. The only time businesses get honest is when the government forces them to. permalink fedilink source parent [–] freeman@lemmy.pub 0 points 2 years ago In a vacuum that would be fine. But in the current culture that likely wouldn’t overcome the tipping standard/culture and may just drive customers away thinking the prices are too high. Unless you have a huge blatant no tipping sign all over the place. This isn’t too indigestible as it stands provided the wait staff understand they are likely to only get a tip for excellent service. But to do this on top of an 11 dollar cannoli. That’s a bit different too. I hope it was like a dozen cannolis. permalink fedilink source parent
