@alwaysvaness: am I the only person who’s bothered by this? Cafes in NYC have gotten out of control. Pay your employees livable wages. #inflation #nyc #cafes #icedcoffee #tipping
Pretty sure that’s illegal. You should definitely submit a complaint to the AG.

$4 tip for a $6 coffee?
I've never heard of an automatic tip before? I would report them to the NY Consumer Protection Bureau. They're great. But good that you made this video to create awareness

If it’s automatic, then it’s a tax or a fee not a tip

That’s absurd. How can you add gratuity automatically and not disclose it. Hell no. I would no longer go there.

I don’t order coffee out anymore because of this. Also, I recently picked up dinner from a small food truck/cart. The sign said $14. I tapped to pay. The tapper was up high where I couldn’t see it. I got home and got an alert about my Apple Pay charge. He charged me $20. You have to be so careful and question everyone even when it’s uncomfortable. Businesses are taking advantage of us.

Ok so in Miami it’s now it’s 20% automatic “service charge” on dining checks, but “gratuity” can be added on top that “just goes to your server” while the 20% is split between everyone. I can’t! I need to. Budget for 30% on top of hideously high pricing?! 💀
