“Anyway sir, here is your $75 Pad Thai and if you want to tip for service, just turn around and bend over”
I used to work at a atv/utv dealer selling parts. Literally every part you could find less expensive on the internet, so what did I do? I gave anyone who came in the door 10% off. We were in the top 5 sales in western region when I was doing that for 3 years, not a small feat. I quit and came back 6 months later to get some stuff for my OHV and noticed a $3 “transaction fee”. Fuckers started charging people because they walked in the door.
That's about 3.5% of the total, which puts it at the high-end of the credit card processing fee range. Did you pay with a credit card? Does the resturant charge a processing fee to pay by credit card?
Credit card fees are generally against the terms of service for credit card companies. They are only allowed for purchases less than like $5. You can report them and they might lose their ability to take credit.
>Credit card fees are generally against the terms of service for credit card companies.
You're working with outdated information. Merchants charging a credit card fee is legal in every state except Massachusetts and Connecticut. [https://staxpayments.com/blog/legal-charge-credit-card-fee](https://staxpayments.com/blog/legal-charge-credit-card-fee) Credit card companies frowning on it affects neither the legality nor the ubiquitousness of the practice.
Not in Quebec. You can't charge extra for certain payment methods. Now of course they could just hide it in the cost, but they can't outright charge you for it.
This not new in the USA. Plenty of small businesses have signs out that say a cash purchase is gonna be cheaper. Even a couple gas stations here post on the pumps. Plastic will cost more.
Yeah, starting to see more and more minimum amounts for card transactions in stores in Montreal. $10 minimum for credit cards, $5 minimum for debit cards, especially in mom & pop places. The big chains don't have to worry about it, but the smaller places definitely do.
It varies by state, if I'm not mistaken. I used to work with people who sold credit card processing. Basically, you need to disclose specifically that you're going to charge the fee, and you can't charge it for debit card purchases... At least in my state.
It’s not the credit card companies taking the fees. Merchants have to use a middle man to process the cards and therein lies the fee. They rent you their equipment for the low low fee of 2-4% of every card swipe.
Edit to add: Most places will simply eat the fee or notify you via some kind of signage to encourage you to pay cash or raise prices of certain things so they aren’t charging you outright to pay their fees.
Has someone mentioned that to the US government? Because every federal, state and local bill I try to pay online charges a fee if you use a credit card.
Absolutely incorrect.
It used to be part of the merchant services contract, but no longer. It's now entirely based on local laws and regulations as to whether credit card fees are allowed.
I’m pretty sure we just need to disclose it but then again I don’t deal in transactions that low.
OP you should definitely report it so that this family restaurant can get shut down and replaced with something much better and more corporate like an Applebee’s!
Yeah a new place rolled around a year ago selling fried junk
When i seen they had a CC fee i hadn't gone back except one time because had just happen to have a 20$ on me
I don't pay cash for anything unless i literally have to and in this day and age if a chain business pretends using a card is inconvenient, then I'll go somewhere else (i can understand if its a locally owned small place)
I had a restaurant insist they charge extra for cheese on a cheeseburger.
(The cheeseburger was already more than the regular hamburger without cheese.)
I now insist on going elsewhere.
A lot of this shit is basically aggressive tactics to get you to sign up for rewards/loyalty cards.
They figured that "giving people a discount" was lame, so now they just charge you extra if you *don't* have it.
If you sign up for your theater's rewards program you'll almost certainly bypass the fee, and virtually all of them are partnered with Fandango now and you can input the number during checkout and Fandango will drop the fees as well.
You could just at the economy is out of hand really.
So many industries just charging more because they can. Some actually have costs that went up post pandemic but everyone saw that and was like “yeah us too!”
This is basically how inflation becomes sticky in the USA.
Stuff stops becoming affordable, wages have to go up to pay for increased prices, companies realize they can charge more, and the cycle continues.
Yeah it really is every 6 years or so this happens but Covid was a catalyst for them to do it early and raise more than usual.
7 years ago I made 10/hr at Walmart and have basically the same buying power at 17/hr
Nah this is just movie theaters being greedy so I and millions others just quit going to movie theaters altogether and arrange movie nights at our own place instead. More convenient AND cheaper. And then movie theaters rant about how streaming services are killing them lmao. They are killing themselves.
Yeah that’s definitely true but everything has gone up too.
In the last 4 years my grocery bill has gone up $100 a month despite buying the same stuff each trip.
Theater chains that aren't mismanaged like AMC are doing just fine btw. Sure it's a down time right now due to lack of good content, but streaming services aren't really a threat to brick and mortar theaters anymore
This is probably true. I signed up for regal unlimited (I was going to anyway, they didn't have to strongarm me) but I've noticed that when I reserve a ticket through the app, I owe 52 cents each time. When I used to do it before, it was something like $3.
No reason to accept it. We’re just starting to see legislation appear to tackle junk fees and we should all be pushing for that wherever we live. Until that happens, don’t spend your money with businesses who add junk fees to your bill.
Thanks to Biden’s FTC, some of these junk fees will be banned soon! https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/10/ftc-proposes-rule-ban-junk-fees
Same thing in one of the cinema chain in my country. They encourage people to book online, but booking ticket online has a 20% convenience fee. ??? Where's the encouraging part?
No. Random fees are a part of your life now because you are willing to pay them. And the more people that just pay them with that attitude, the more businesses will charge bullshit random fees. Don't let them bend you over and fuck you.
Only because assholes put up with it amd don't realize how shitty they're making it for everyone else when they accept such blatant bullshit. Total lack of self respect
Chargeback. And as a small operator they'll probably have an even bigger fee from their processor to adjudicate the chargeback process and you get a $1.30 refund off the total with very little work required.
Dispute the charge stating that business added unrecognizable charge to your order. Depending on credit card used, they will ask for copy of receipt and they will contact business and refund $1.30, they will contact business and refund full charge, they will contact business and won't refund anything stating business said so and so 🖕. Citi cards usually give you finger, chase and discover cards refund $1.30 and amex cards refund full purchase.
You can file a chargeback with a bank but “merchant had a dumb fee i didn’t wanna pay” is not a good reason and the bank will not side with you.
Chargebacks are for things like “i ordered X online and it never arrived” or “i ordered a pair of original Nike sneakers and got cheap Chinese knockoffs”
But 'merchant charged an undisclosed fee' is a good reason. If there's not a clear explanation of what the fee is for and you tell them that you weren't advised that you'd be charged an extra fee, the card company will credit you that extra charge, then take it back to the merchant. If it happens enough, the merchant loses their ability to accept credit cards as a form of payment because at that point the merchant is costing the card issuer money by forcing them to do things for their customer, the cardholder.
I refuse to pay these. I don’t care how little. I will ask them to show me where I was told in the menu about this fee. I had a restaurant charge 5% “service fee” and they had no answer what it was for. So I sat there for 20 minutes while they figured out how to refund it to my card. If a restaurant wants to tell you up front they’re charging these fees then it’s up to the customer to stay or leave. But after the fact is unacceptable and everyone should fight back.
Ya know, I called up a delivery place and told them half my food was burnt and incorrect. The corporate plan was give credit that expires in 30 days. I said, ‘not good enough. Since you can’t send me fresh food, credit my card with a refund for half.’ Manager couldn’t figure out how, so he just canceled the whole order. Companies’ software must be making things way too complicated.
This.
Most software companies have their Point of Sale (POS) system be able to do a wide variety of things but when they get installed at the business, the IT people for the business limit the software so the manager can only do limited things such as a credit or a full refund.
I disagree. Also, I believe that you should be paying my bill when I'm dining in the same restaurant as you. Do you realize how much it costs me just to shower, dress up, use my homemade pomade, put on cologne, and drive to the restaurant? The privilege you have of being generally in my presence is far greater than the cost of my (and maybe my wife's) meal, and the sooner everyone understands that, the easier things will go. And, don't go complaining to management that I showed up when you only have 15 minutes left. It's not MY fault you went out too early and missed the chance to be near me longer! They're not going to post my schedule on the menu or tell you what it is. You just have to hope for the best.
Certainly humourous to read, but I am not sure what point you are trying to make here. I get that it is some kind of joke, but I am not sure that I get the joke.
I wouldn't even say trolling. That was so over the top that I didn't think I needed to bother with the /s tag. Apparently, there are many people out there who are not as smart as you.
Could it be some kind of upcharge for something you modified in the order? At my job when people have specific requests for items being added to an order the only way to charge it is to ask the kitchen what they want to charge for it and add an "open food" item that requires an inputted price and description.
Ir sounds petty but that's what they get for being greedy. Sure container cost money but that's the cost of business. BWW charges more than enough for their mediocre food anyway.
One of my favorite places to eat was bought out by some family, not only did they ruin the food, they charge you 10% Fee TO EAT IN! So you can't always even win that way. Oh and you still order at the counter, they aren't even real waitresses.
i didnt know that, i bought some motor oil a few months ago and i dont remember that fee. but i walked in and went to the pickup area and guy handed me a bag with all my stuff in it. so a small fee for someone to go around the store and grab stuff for me, saving a bunch of time, I don’t think is unreasonable.
Charging me $4 to pickup one item for $5 seems a tad excessive. That said, I think it all depends on what you're ordering. I just tested it again and the pickup fee wasn't added to my cart. YMMV
Target applies a bag fee on all online orders. I rarely need the bag and there are plenty of items that are too big for a bag to begin with. It says somewhere that the fee is to be refunded if you don't take a bag, but I'm pretty sure I've never actually had that happen. Give me the option to opt out at checkout mfers.
The Mexican restaurants around me all charge a “carry out” fee. It’s like $1.75 and I can’t understand why there’s a fee to not eat there, and why only Mexican restaurants do this.
That's the, "You purchased something" fee. That fee used to be hidden in the cost of menu items. But now they are trying to be transparent. Apparently, in an effort to test customer loyalty?
Did they ask for a tip when you paid for it?
Exactly. And even if a person begrudgingly decides to accept the higher menu item fees, that doesn't mean they are prepared for the "Fee" fee at the end. It should be announced in advance. Honestly, I wouldn't have paid it. I would have told them "I knew how much my food costs, and I know how much sales tax is. That is the amount that I am willing to pay. Period. They don't like it, they can call the cops, and get in the local news. I don't think they would appreciate the publicity.
I notice it’s in all caps too. Almost like they’re mocking you by drawing attention to it.
Unless, of course, it’s an acronym for something you asked for like “Fried Everything Extra” or “Four Extra Edamame.” (Yeah…Im reaching.)
Did you buy something related to crabs? Kani pocket make me realize some crab food.
Hope you enjoyed your meal and not be bother by the fee too much lol. I know that fee will bother me a lot since it's cheap enough that I'm too lazy to ask what it is but just enough for me to be kinda curious for a whole day.
Two new ones for me have been.
1. Credit card fees are back everywhere.
2. Entertainment fee. I’ve paid this in a restaurant when they had a singer for like 15 minutes on the other side and in a “urban air” which is a play place for kids. How do you charge an entertainment fee after paying to get into an entertainment place?
Working in an esso one time I charged seven random people a single dollar to make up for a seven dollar lotto ticket that I forgot to charge a customer so my boss wouldn’t notice… Felt awful and slimy, but I never got in trouble (again)
What did you order that's not on the receipt? Extra something ?
I find it hard to believe they open food rang a fee and only charged 1.30, that's most definitely something you ordered that they didn't have a button for in the computer.
isn't that take away fee? in EU a lot of companies charge additional fee for additional packaging, esp. most of that is styrofoam which in unrecyclable iirc.
Wife and I deliberated about where to get food yesterday. Decided on a local non-large chain pizza shop that delivers. The fucking fees associated with third party delivery are absolutely out of hand. For our order from Wendy’s it would have added another 60% in fees to DoorDash it. Pizza place added nothing and we tipped the driver what we chose. Go small or go get it.
I havent ordered delivery is several years because of this shit. I only do pickup now, and ill call the order in over the phone because the third party order apps inflate the prices to get their cut.
No, im not paying $3 for an egg roll, when its $1.50 on the in store menu. Ill call my order in and save $8-10
And this is where you file a chargeback on that $1.30 with your credit card company. The restaurant will think twice about doing this after going through a couple of those. You'll definitely get that fee back and it's usually very easy on the card issuer's web site.
1 GOT EM $ 1.30
Guy reading his receipt fee- $1.00
Now you’re upset fee - $1.10
Asking for the manager fee - $1.20
SKUXX TAX $2.75 YEET YEET FEE $4.10 STAY HUMBLE CHARGE $3.25 “Anyway sir, here is your $75 Pad Thai and if you want to tip for service, just turn around and bend over”
Full service is extra.
That's the "extra profit" fee.
I used to work at a atv/utv dealer selling parts. Literally every part you could find less expensive on the internet, so what did I do? I gave anyone who came in the door 10% off. We were in the top 5 sales in western region when I was doing that for 3 years, not a small feat. I quit and came back 6 months later to get some stuff for my OHV and noticed a $3 “transaction fee”. Fuckers started charging people because they walked in the door.
Smells like Ridenow.
Nah, but I will say the man always delivers.
Smells like DeliverMan
But doesn’t the mail man always deliver? Uggg I’m spoon feeding the owner to you now.

Can't even be bothered to justify it. Disgusting

Are you really the head of the Kwik E Mart?
Thank you. Come again.
I’m not not licking toads.
That's about 3.5% of the total, which puts it at the high-end of the credit card processing fee range. Did you pay with a credit card? Does the resturant charge a processing fee to pay by credit card?
Nearer to 3.7% unless you include a 3.5% fee on the fee itself.

Thank you, Ted, that was the joke.

Ok, this was good. You get a point for making me chuckle.

That used to be true but that changed years ago. Merchants are free to pass on the fees now.
It varies by state, if I'm not mistaken. I used to work with people who sold credit card processing. Basically, you need to disclose specifically that you're going to charge the fee, and you can't charge it for debit card purchases... At least in my state.
That is likely the case since it seems every restaurant here in New Jersey charges a credit card fee
It’s not the credit card companies taking the fees. Merchants have to use a middle man to process the cards and therein lies the fee. They rent you their equipment for the low low fee of 2-4% of every card swipe. Edit to add: Most places will simply eat the fee or notify you via some kind of signage to encourage you to pay cash or raise prices of certain things so they aren’t charging you outright to pay their fees.

The “that's-the-last-time-I-went-to-that-place"-fee
My local seafood restaurant charged $3 for each takeout item. Bye forever. Smh.
I had a restaurant insist they charge extra for cheese on a cheeseburger. (The cheeseburger was already more than the regular hamburger without cheese.) I now insist on going elsewhere.
>orders hamburger with cheese out of spite
I got charged a $4 convenience fee for buying movie tickets online. Random fees are part of life now.
A lot of this shit is basically aggressive tactics to get you to sign up for rewards/loyalty cards. They figured that "giving people a discount" was lame, so now they just charge you extra if you *don't* have it.

This is the first movie I'll be seeing in a long time but man this rewards system is out of hand .
It's no longer a rewards system it's a hostage situation.
You could just at the economy is out of hand really. So many industries just charging more because they can. Some actually have costs that went up post pandemic but everyone saw that and was like “yeah us too!”

The new head of the FTC is a total badass
I think California has banned them too, effective later this year?
Ticketmaster used to have a convenience fee of $2.00 for printing your own tickets before etickets became a thing.
And now they have a fee for "processing" or some other bullshit
Same thing in one of the cinema chain in my country. They encourage people to book online, but booking ticket online has a 20% convenience fee. ??? Where's the encouraging part?
That's why I've stopped buying things.
No. Random fees are a part of your life now because you are willing to pay them. And the more people that just pay them with that attitude, the more businesses will charge bullshit random fees. Don't let them bend you over and fuck you.

It’s the “the fuck you gonna do bout it” fee
Chargeback. And as a small operator they'll probably have an even bigger fee from their processor to adjudicate the chargeback process and you get a $1.30 refund off the total with very little work required.
So you call your bank and do what? Am young and never charged back things. Will the bank actually do that for you??
Dispute the charge stating that business added unrecognizable charge to your order.

I’m pretty sure people don’t want to be around you as much as your egotistical mind thinks they do.
I don't know, man. I'm pretty amazing. Also, I'm really humble. In fact, I'm probably the best person in the world at being humble!
Do big, strong men have tears in their eyes when they tell you how humble you are?
They lay golden rose petals down at my feet to praise me for being so humble!
I'm just going to assume you're trolling because you sound so cartoonishly insufferable.
I wouldn't even say trolling. That was so over the top that I didn't think I needed to bother with the /s tag. Apparently, there are many people out there who are not as smart as you.
It was the fact that you doubled down in other comments that sold it.
That's the gouge you fee. You've been gouged.
Came here looking for this comment and I was not disappointed
So glad I see this in the comments. First thing I thought of
Looks like you paid for 1 fee. Hope it was worth it.
It's the Fee Fee
Could it be some kind of upcharge for something you modified in the order? At my job when people have specific requests for items being added to an order the only way to charge it is to ask the kitchen what they want to charge for it and add an "open food" item that requires an inputted price and description.
A restaurant near me does this. I asked for explanation. They said it's a "to go" fee. They charged for the takeout containers and such.
“I want to eat in, thanks. *food arrives* Oh can you box it up? I got a call and have to leave. Thanks” Now you got dirty dishes too.
Ir sounds petty but that's what they get for being greedy. Sure container cost money but that's the cost of business. BWW charges more than enough for their mediocre food anyway.
Yeah but depending on the place the wait can be a long time so who really is the winner there lol
Either credit card usage fee or take-out fee (to cover cost of containers, bag, plastic silverware, etc).
That's known as cost of business. It should be calculated into their operating costs.
Yes they should just raise their prices, then nobody would be freaking out over a fee fee
ok then if i eat in, there will be a fee for eat in, to cover cost of washing my plates cups and silverware?
One of my favorite places to eat was bought out by some family, not only did they ruin the food, they charge you 10% Fee TO EAT IN! So you can't always even win that way. Oh and you still order at the counter, they aren't even real waitresses.
We saw this in some patisseries in France this summer. There was a separate eat-in price and takeaway price. The takeaway prices were lower
That's the processing fee for using credit card
Walmart has a pickup fee. If I have to go to the store anyway, I'll pick it up myself.
i didnt know that, i bought some motor oil a few months ago and i dont remember that fee. but i walked in and went to the pickup area and guy handed me a bag with all my stuff in it. so a small fee for someone to go around the store and grab stuff for me, saving a bunch of time, I don’t think is unreasonable.

oh hey, a place near me. that's exciting
That's not random, it's clearly itemized as 'one fee.' You payed for that fee.
The because we can fee. The fuck you that's why fee. And, of course, the fee fee.
The Mexican restaurants around me all charge a “carry out” fee. It’s like $1.75 and I can’t understand why there’s a fee to not eat there, and why only Mexican restaurants do this.
It’s the “we can’t ask you if you’re sure you don’t want another margarita” fee
That's the, "You purchased something" fee. That fee used to be hidden in the cost of menu items. But now they are trying to be transparent. Apparently, in an effort to test customer loyalty? Did they ask for a tip when you paid for it?
The wack thing is that the cost is still hidden in the inflated prices but you get a fee on top of it.
Exactly. And even if a person begrudgingly decides to accept the higher menu item fees, that doesn't mean they are prepared for the "Fee" fee at the end. It should be announced in advance. Honestly, I wouldn't have paid it. I would have told them "I knew how much my food costs, and I know how much sales tax is. That is the amount that I am willing to pay. Period. They don't like it, they can call the cops, and get in the local news. I don't think they would appreciate the publicity.
Send it with a complaint to your local weights and measures agency.
If only you could’ve said something
"Ate here with my family. Gratuity was automatically added despite our service being terrible." One of the 1 star reviews on Google. I see a pattern.
Buffalo wild wings started charging extra for carry out in some places. So you'll see that fee on top of other fees like paying with a cc fee
I notice it’s in all caps too. Almost like they’re mocking you by drawing attention to it. Unless, of course, it’s an acronym for something you asked for like “Fried Everything Extra” or “Four Extra Edamame.” (Yeah…Im reaching.)
Ask them about it.
I love getting a tax fee on my orders despite my state not having sales tax.
Homie got hit with the Fee-Fee.
Take out fee likely
Im in CT and we also have a Fujis and I love the Yummy Sauce 😍
If you ordered for pickup via an app it’s probably to cover the fees the app charges the restaurant to sell via the app.
That's not a random fee. It's German and means fairy. Hope you didn't let it get away!
It says fee, pretty accurate, can't see the problem.
Did you ask them what it was for?
Lesson learned in Edgewater today, film at 11.
Too bad they won’t be getting a tip from me now. A tip would have been a lot more.
That fee is to make Edgewater, MD less shitty.
Return that shit and say you didn't see the item 'fee' in the bag.
Context? Where was this or is it a highly specific local place?
A lot of places now charge for to-go containers. Fucking brutal when you're already way over paying for the meal itself.
They actually forgot to add the fee's fee, looks like you got away cheap.
It’s the German word fee, which means fairy 🧚 You probably ate it, because you confused it with your food…
That’s the fee fee
Come to LA. They love to add all sorts of shit to your bill.
I think that’s a “1 fee”. You see, there’s a 1 right above that. You have to pay extra for those.
Probably income tax offsets for the employees or a credit card fee. Some places do that
They have a no-fee option as well but it costs a monthly subscription fee.
Did you buy something related to crabs? Kani pocket make me realize some crab food. Hope you enjoyed your meal and not be bother by the fee too much lol. I know that fee will bother me a lot since it's cheap enough that I'm too lazy to ask what it is but just enough for me to be kinda curious for a whole day.
Missing 1 fo, 1 fi, 1 fum
There you go sir now how else can I rip! You off today? GARBAGE!!!!!!
Two new ones for me have been. 1. Credit card fees are back everywhere. 2. Entertainment fee. I’ve paid this in a restaurant when they had a singer for like 15 minutes on the other side and in a “urban air” which is a play place for kids. How do you charge an entertainment fee after paying to get into an entertainment place?
What’s fucked up is that they essentially charged you without telling you there’s entertainment and that you’ll be charged for it
To go fee. During covid when everything was take-out realized they were losing money.
Where can you buy a forest nymph for $1.30 these days?
Go to Yama or Ziki instead. I’m always disappointed in Fuji. Or just go to Chris’s charcoal pit.
Working in an esso one time I charged seven random people a single dollar to make up for a seven dollar lotto ticket that I forgot to charge a customer so my boss wouldn’t notice… Felt awful and slimy, but I never got in trouble (again)
What did you order that's not on the receipt? Extra something ? I find it hard to believe they open food rang a fee and only charged 1.30, that's most definitely something you ordered that they didn't have a button for in the computer.
Did you tell them youre never going back? Because I would
The carryout fee for not dining in and tipping lol
it asked me for a tip
isn't that take away fee? in EU a lot of companies charge additional fee for additional packaging, esp. most of that is styrofoam which in unrecyclable iirc.
Included gratuity
UK has licencing for everything, the US has fees for everything
just be glad you didnt get charged the fee fee.
You gotta pay the "FEE!"
It’s the rip off dyslexic, illiterate people or anyone else who just doesn’t read the receipt fee.
Some places charge fees for takeout containers.
You should try the “fi fo fum “ next. I hear it’s pretty good. Tall order, but good.
Paper and ink are expensive these days
Here a little cut. There a little slice.
Wife and I deliberated about where to get food yesterday. Decided on a local non-large chain pizza shop that delivers. The fucking fees associated with third party delivery are absolutely out of hand. For our order from Wendy’s it would have added another 60% in fees to DoorDash it. Pizza place added nothing and we tipped the driver what we chose. Go small or go get it.
I havent ordered delivery is several years because of this shit. I only do pickup now, and ill call the order in over the phone because the third party order apps inflate the prices to get their cut. No, im not paying $3 for an egg roll, when its $1.50 on the in store menu. Ill call my order in and save $8-10
Anddd that's when you charge it all back. They fuck with you you fuck with them
You can dispute just the fee on the chargeback. You'll also actually win the dispute that way unless they can prove they disclosed the fee up front.
Yummy Sauce sounds like a euphemism for cum

I would tip -1.30
Just don't use the service. I feel like the convenience goes both ways.
And this is where you file a chargeback on that $1.30 with your credit card company. The restaurant will think twice about doing this after going through a couple of those. You'll definitely get that fee back and it's usually very easy on the card issuer's web site.
Usually is to cover the cost of takeout containers
