As I explained in my post, restaurants that do this struggle to stay open because people only look at the price and are less likely to want to pay it. Even places that keep prices the same and add a service charge receive many complaints and a drop in business. My source is that it has happened in multiple restaurants I’ve worked at.

I doubt you read my whole post because I also spoke against the system. I’m not brainwashed, I’m living in reality.

Edit: side note, all of capitalism is built on exploitation of labor, it’s the defining characteristic
