Mikey Doesn't Like It

Bauer Back on the Anti-Healthy S.F. Brigade, Now Via Tip Calculations

You should all have come to understand by now that Michael Bauer really hates Healthy S.F. surcharges. And so do many of his readers! (Also he loves to unleash commenter fury, and this topic is always a winner!) Today finds him back to blogging peevishly on the subject, this time via a slightly new angle, per a reader email. Apparently, some restaurants which provide those handy tip calculations at the bottom of bills are making said calculations on the total, including the Healthy S.F. surcharge, and that does not sit well with Mr. Bauer or the complainant. And so today, once again, for the umpteenth time, Mr. Bauer writes, “I think the time has come for the service charges to disappear.” Hear ye, restaurateurs: It is quite clear, from here on out, that if you do not roll these health care costs into your prices, Mr. Bauer will spank you with his words and stars when he swings back for an update.
