Restaurant sparks outrage for "ridiculous" fee
As inflation rates continue to rise it is not surprising that restaurants are charging extra fees, but one disgruntled customer was particularly shocked to see this "ridiculous" fee on their bill.
The customer, who dined at restaurant and cocktail bar in Georgia, USA shamed the restaurant for charging their customers a $20 fee for “live band entertainment”.
They shared their complaints on Reddit with a copy of their receipt and an unexpected fee at the bottom which read: “Two Live Band Entertainment Fee — $20”.
Most people in the comments were equally annoyed and called the fee "ridiculous".
“This is one of those leave money on the table, hand the waiter a tip and leave, sorry but if I didn’t order it, I’m not paying for it,” one wrote.
“Great way to not have repeat customers,” said another.
“This will backfire for them, just be honest and upfront," a third added.
Other commenters were less sympathetic and did not understand why the customer was complaining when it looked like they could afford it.
“When you’re paying seven dollars for a bottle of water, you really don’t get to complain about ‘unexpected costs.’ You knew what you signed up for," one commenter wrote.
“Imagine a live band getting paid, huh,” another added.
“They’re buying $7 bottles of water, they can probably afford it,” added a third.
