Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is "a piece of shit", and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?

I'm not having any of that. I'd rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.

I'll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I've given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it's a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I'm paying the advertised price.

The person who pays "full price and no more" in this case is @Shayeta... who was just suggesting that the price be increased so the "more" is in the price. "Full price" is whatever the shitty owner says it is, not whatever the product or service is worth and definitely not what the customer thinks it's worth.

So $10 plus a $3 tip is "paying extra" to you people but you're gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more" for the same meal literally because they said so. I think the clearest I can be is to point out that they're offering the "extra," just exclusively to the owners and never to the workers.

Now I'm wondering whether it's some shamefully covered-up phobia of maths or just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism.

Yes. The price is 10. I pay 13. That's 3 more. Simple math.

That's a straw man argument. I probably won't support a shitty owner at any price.

What I want is to know the price up front, without checking for loopholes, adding tips and whatever. I don't care how simple the math is, or how much I love math or how good I am at calculating in my head, or how big the impact is to my personal economy.

I see a price, I either pay it or I don't. There's a reason that anything else is literally illegal where I live.

You're welcome to have your opinion, this is mine.

Again, I don't mind tipping if I actually get extra. I'm a big tipper, if I get more than I'm paying for.

Wow, that's American level defense of capitalism. Where I'm from, we pay a lot more attention to consumer rights and employee rights.
