Yes and also to Cell phones bills.

Yup and how about the Billions spent by Greasy Newsom on the Homeless unaccounted for?

No stealth tipping either at resturants.

Our small town (1400) has its own electricity generating plant and yet we still pay sales tax on the cost of electricity the town provided. I'm surprised they haven't figured out how to charge sales tax on the sales tax.

also on cars

exactly

Gavin Newsom owns a restaurant...

If people want to dine out they need to understand that the owners have to pay for gas, electricity, employees, & property taxes or their property lease. If people want to be “cheap” it’s better off eating at home. That woman who’s being interviewed needs to stop say “we”, why is she speaking for everyone.

@@tbone3972she’s speaking for the majority, and not for everyone. Dinning out used to be affordable for the middle class and the poor, until the minimum wage hike ,and the most recent $20/hr for fast food workers. Grocery stores prices are insane unless people stock up on sale item.

Duh!

Dude, I paid dang near $600 to register a 35 year old truck last month… phuqin crazy

The entire Govt is a grift. What r they gonna shut themselves down?

That’s your state guys you voted for it

No, we didnt

Can we fix the smog check, please!

Tax Dollars sent to Greasy Newsom?

Go solar it's better to pay for the system then pg&e. It's not cheap but in the long run it will you save a ton. I only pay $16 to $24 with ac in the summer.

@@gabrielg6800 sadly I rent lol

We hate newsom

@@walterwhite1 Me too.

*they’re (sorry 🥺)

It is absolutely insane. Last time I had to go to Emergency room it ended up being almost $5,000 and with them telling me I was probably just dehydrated. That came out of pocket due to my ever increasing deductible limit.

Absolutely...

Hospitals have to deal with insurance companies, and different insurance companies pay at different rates. So that complicates things.

Yes! I had an emergency appendectomy last year and the bill from the anesthesiologist charged me twice for the anesthesia. One charge for the medicine, second was an emergency fee. Since when is an appendectomy not an emergency. The appendix isn’t removed for prophylactic reasons 🙄

i use a calculator (phone app) to pay a 15% tip for dine in and pay NOTHING for take our orders

some payment screens have moved the higher % to the left, so the old reflex to tip the lower percent (like 15%) will end up in tapping the highest percent...notice how there is no "verify your tip" prompt!!!!!

@@MoveoverAndbark They also try to publicly shame you into giving something. For example, when I go to a popular Chinese national credit fast food restaurant, they will have the chutzpah to ask in front of everyone if I want to "round up" or donate $1 to charity. It's really crass and I stopped going there.

Extortion and fraud is now considered American Capitalism.

​​@@bengolfs1I just say no. Screw what others think. What pisses me off more about that is the business uses our donations to market and promote their business by saying they donates Xdollars to Xcharity. When its really the customers and or employees.

at prices these days who can afford giving a tip. the other day i took my mom to kfc for lunch she got the two peace i got the three peace. cost was over $31.USD. $10.USD more than in and out burger. and at in and out the employees come around and make sure you are happy and get you something in needed. nothing at kfc. .

You either go out to eat a lot or you actually don't see tip machines very often and you just wanted to come here and complain.

You're free to leave no tip or customize $5.00.....

Stand up for yourself and tip what you think is right.

@@68BigSherm 0% all day long

😂 wow

Alien_isolationist looks like you were the one who got probed this time.

Forgot the tip 😂

They only punish those they can get $ off of. I’m sure they will hold these people that break the law accountable, but if u run in a ransack & rob the whole place, no worries.

I would love to see that too. The government is always screwing us and it does NOT matter who is in charge either.

Are you getting Govt fees???

Yup Billions spent on the Homeless in Cali?

Exactly, Newsom is the king of taxes, fees, and crime.

@@cheezmo2k strange. hes the only california governor ive seen who sent money back to taxpayers because of a surplus in the state budget. i guess you dont like that?

If you really want to keep your tax dollars in a barter country society, omit them. #TaxesAreAWeapon #TaxesAreaAbusedAndInnappropriate

... maybe the restaurants bake their own bread? 🤦🏽

Adding on hidden fees does not build trust with your customers, it sounds like a scam to hit tourist but some of your customers have got to be local

Well there hidden ofc you have to worry lol

Just refuse to go anywhere that has them. When you go to a restaurant if you haven't been there before ask if they have mandatory tips.

The ciggar😮store I go to has the tip options on their machines, tips for cigarettes?!?

@@TheFrogfeederthat’s just ridiculous. The Home Depot has a tip screen🤡🤡🤡

At my restaurant we do have a mandatory 20% gratuity added to the bill of large parties (more than 5 people). It is printed on the Menu, and the Menu is on display outside the restaurant. When we have these kind of parties, since we are a really small establishment, we can’t take anybody else for almost an hour, to properly serve the large party. So we can’t leave it to their good heart. Anybody else eating there doesn’t have a mandatory tip.

​@bngr_bngr Here Domino's Pizza Subway and Little Ceasars all has Tip Options when you use your Debit card 😂😂like Uhhhhhh NO !

Typical politicians. This won't stop the practice. The exemptions will render the law unsatisfactory.

Yaaassss

Doctors are the biggest crooks with their phantom billing Medicare and insurance.

I suppose if they are really honest, which means they will have to raise their menu prices, then they will have no patrons. Also, all the reprint and reprogramming on their systems to reflect their prices.. that will also put a dent before they can make a buck.

I’m just curious, since I don’t live in California, what are these charges, at a restaurant?

@riccardo- it depends on the area, city, type of restaurant or owners- It ranges from a mandatory "tip" of 18 to even 28% claimed for back staff, health or environmental fees, service fees, prep fees, delivery fees evrn if picked up in some places, additional ordered by govt taxes or fees, and all kinds of made up terms and names used. A place like San Francisco could easily double any restaurant charges even before sales taxes from all the mandatory AND voluntary added charges over the basic food prices listed.

@@seaneendelong8065 thank you.

Especially as they don’t pay their waitstaff a living wage and expect them to supplement through tips!

Always has? Everything is negotiable in a car dealership. All those fees are disclosed on the vehicle itself. Then any fees on contract that say “optional” are just that. Optional. They can be removed. People just need to read properly all print big and small. Also, be realistic stop going in with no license, no down payment with 500 credit score and in debt making $20 an hour. With rent or mortgage. Try and shop within your price range not above like most which is what leads to debt to income ratio being off which then turns into late payments fees etc.

Facts, show the actual price, and add big signs that show + taxes & the amount. It was 49 cents but I think it's more now?

@@Alien_isolationistI think is now 57.5

$5 is a good tip

And the font of any other text cannot be larger. Unless the font of the additional fees are also larger. And if they have automatic gratuity for party above a certain number, they should simply post dual prices for each menu item. One price for parties under six (or whatever), and a higher price for parties of six or larger. Or better yet raise prices by 18 or 20%, give that extra money to your server, and eliminate tipping completely. Unless someone wants to tip EXTRA for exceptional service. But that EXTRA money should just be a bonus for the server, whatever the number of people in the party. It should not be part of the money they need to make ends meet.

I’m asking too, since I am really curious about these fees. What else do restaurants charge you besides food and drinks ordered and local/state taxes? Not talking about tips. I’m not from California

@@riccardob7774 Well, in the video they displayed a notice from a restaurant saying everyone would have a 3.95% fee added because of the increased costs of food, fuel, electricity, etc. So the ‘fee’’ is financing the same things the listed price does, which is to say, all the normal expenses of running a restaurant. So it is basically a hidden price increase. This enables them to advertise things like a $9.99 special, but in actuality charge $10.38 Not a HUGE difference, but it enables them to claim that psychologically magical price of under 20 dollars, when it is not.

@@fordhouse8b got it. Thank you. Didn’t see it in the video but I see it sometimes in stores. We don’t use anything like this in our restaurant but we do explicitly talk about tips automatically added for large parties (from 5 and up).

@@riccardob7774 Yes, I think we do the same in the hotel where I work. The way I see it, any additional fee should buy the customer something additional. Otherwise it should be baked into the price. Otherwise, why not just advertise a $1 steak, but tack on a 500% additional fee?

Airlines are one of the biggest offenders also.

@@moiramccleary5306 I forgot about those bastards at Moving Companies. You want your stuff $5000 drop off fee.

Pretty much lol

They already are...

The actual residents who are not newbies taking exec or high paying jobs don't go out or vacation or buy toys. Most only run a fan unless the temp gets over 95 for more than a day. Many add a quilt to beds and the couch in winter instead of using central heat. Eating made food is limited to special events or once a month outings, usually an affordable or local place. Best price gas is always known. Outside activities are beaches or parks or lakes or trails etc that are free to park and visit. Or just visiting friends and fam at homes. Groceries are often carefully planned spending of lowest cost stores and as little processed vs make from scratch as doable- with a couple nicer items every month so you don't feel too deprived. Thrift stores really non profit for clothes and linens and shoes and toys and furniture etc are very popular out here- fortunately a ton of those moving away, with money, or who died have good quality donations given often. Rent and those who bought after mid 20 are being crushed though...

@@seaneendelong8065 good to know there are some of us left out there.

Minimum wage is $16, so hopefully you have a better job then that, or else you're going to need a roommate or 3, or section 8 where you pay 1/3 of your income to rent, while everyone else pays for your housing. There's also side hustles. The minimum wage will likely be $18 in January state wide, though rent is $2,000 for 1 bed $3K for 2 bed, maybe even more. If you cqn buy a home it's going to ease your burden. Everything else is expensive too so a lot of people stay home a lot, but a lot of people are just broke from Starbucks, fast food, tobacco habits etc. There are well paying jobs too, it all depends on the industry.

​@@seaneendelong8065there are many home owners, business owners, & contract workers, like construction etc that pay well, not everyone is living like that. People still buy video games & toys, just depends on how you work it. I was making good money in the solar industry for a couple years. When I worked low end jobs I sold video games on the side for extra cash & good credit. People also live off their tax refund fairly well for 6 months. I have noticed that money doesn't last as long under this government the last few years. Was floored when my two pizzas & 1 lb chocolate chip cookie from Round table came to $89, even though it was for pickup.....got $120 worth of toys at Target for the kids, came out with 2 racecar set, mini baby doll with bed and highchair, mini mouse cash register toy, a bouncy ball fkr 6 bucks, stickers & headphones for the stepkid, that wasn't a bad haul, and I buy my Playstation games as cheap as I can by creating a wishlist on ama zon, & picking the lowest prices first & wait for sales on other games, and eb ay if they're cheaper there. I also like getting toiletries from dollar tree to live the way I do. Just gotta know what & where to make sacrifices. My gf works at Tar get so employee discounts on meats & cheese of 15% helps.

Rent should be between $500-$1,000 per bedroom, not $2,000 for 1 room....

in CA they are paid minimum wage, after tips they are paid wayyyy more than fast food workers. I was a waitress.

just don't tip. women love that

it has to be Federally Mandated, to everyone, or it would be chaos. Put every server/runner/bussboy/barback/bartender at a decent minimum wage, then and only then, get rid of tipping. It will change the Industry as a whole. For the better I guess.

@@riccardob7774 We don’t tip and will never tip because we can figure out how to do things on our own. I’m not paying someone else’s working wage for their compensation. That’s like agreeing to reparations for Negroids. If the cost of food or service go up as a result of not tipping to balance their wage then so be it. At least we know exactly how much we are paying for a service and can make informed decisions accordingly. The market will sort itself out and competition will reign supreme.

You think taking away the connection between the server's pay and the customer's satisfaction will improve service? How's that working out at the DMV?

I support that I never believe in tipping thats another way of giving your hard earned money away

If you payed attention, they must add in the fees, before you order instead of after you order.

@@Alien_isolationist I’m glad we BOTH payed attention to that part. My question is WHAT fees specifically? There were no examples genius. “I” gave the example of gratuity because it’s all I can think of as a “hidden fee” when ordering food.
