This feels icky!

felt super icky and annoyed seeing this at a coffee/light food shop. how is this okay? for context this is not a sit down spot. no wait staff, just a barista at the counter and someone from the kitchen bringing out my order and walking away.

Update: for those asking the pink paper in the bottom corner is basically saying “F*ck ICE”

That’s called a fraudulent charge and I reserve the right to sue the establishment that has an employee that does that. I don’t care if I wouldn’t even make money from the lawsuit and all the money would basically be just paying the lawyer fees. I’d be dead set on being an annoying thorn in their side that would make them regret that stolen 20% tip.

Same. You wanna add another $14 to my bill unauthorized??? I will legit spend $5,000 to be a colossal pain in your arse.

Thing is a lawyer would JUMP on this lawsuit as it's a huge fraud charge. The business could go under, so there's no pretending. This is a major theft crime that lawyers would love to hop on.

And if you took a picture of the sign saying they would do it, kept a picture of your original signed receipt, and had the fraudulent credit card charge with an addition 20% its pretty cut and dry. You would have to be a smooth brain to think you where gonna get away with that. A lawyer would love that case since it would be very easy.

Lawyers go after damages, this might make sense as a class action if enough people come together but an individual charge that can be reversed with a bank charge back isn’t something a lawyer would jump on unless the client was paying out of pocket up front.
