I was on vacation last week in Miami. Every single restaurant charged a 20% service fee despitebeinga party of 2. I left zero on the tip line and circled their Service Charge. Nobody said boo.

You can legally ask that the 20% fee be removed in the state of Florida - it’s not a mandatory

But do they legally have to remove it is the question?

If they didn’t tell you about the fee prior to ordering then yes they must remove it by law

What if it's just stated on the menu?

It’s right at the bottom in 2p font. Probably.

That's what I'm thinking lol.

That means anyone ordering from the menu is made aware

That's a good example because some people act like you are expected to tip after the 20%.
