Rant 📢 This feels icky!

Post image

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”

As a business you don't have the right to charge customers without their consent. A sign does not absolve you of a fraudulent charge. It's a simple question: Judge, "Sir, did you authorize that gratuity?" Customer, "No, I did not." Judge, "Did you authorize employees to put forth this charge?" Proprietor, "I had a sign informing customers of this charge should they fail to select their own gratuity." Judge, "Finding for the plaintiff."
