View submission: Discretionary service charges

Donation? What is that?

Like a tip over the service charge?

Lol that's silly.

It was to a charity I wasn’t familiar with. I’m not stingy on donations in general, but I’ve never been in a situation where it’s been added to my bill with no preamble

They do it at Fazenda as well! It’s like £1 to “plant a tree”, I tell them to take it off. The service charge feels reasonable since so many people come by to cut meat for you, but I thought the custom was always no tip… I wish it was just baked into the upfront cost.
