    The cost of food in American restaurants includes service charger. It just not itemized. Waiters do have salaries, so it comes from somewhere.

      That’s my point. This restaurant is try to bait and switch their customers by giving a misleading food price and adding a service charge. It is like a cell phone company adding garbage fees.

      As for my initial comment - if you add a percentage for service, that ends my obligation to tip.

        Ah! I see. You were talking exclusively about not coming back into US restaurant, not restaurant in general anywhere in the world. It was not clear for me.

      Hey, look at our cheap food!

      Oh, btw, we didn’t tell you, but it’s actually 18% more expensive than the prices on the menu.

      Also, it’s $10 extra for the plates and silverware.

      And we also charge you for eating in as well, that’s another $10.

      And if you don’t tip on top of that, we get really angry.

      Please leave a 5 star review!

        I was talking about service charge, not tips.
