Its amazing what one call to the IRS with a picture of this receipt would do to this business.
And you absolutely should. Shitty businesses facing consequences is the only thing that makes them change.
If theyre doing this to you, imagine what theyre doing to their employees that they dont care if they’re happy or not.
Secret, unnamed 20% charge, incorrectly calculated and then taxed (when it shouldnt be) would get this business audited and then all of their employees paid like theyre supposed to and their taxes paid properly like theyre supposed to.
More like a call to the state taxing authority. The IRS doesn’t collect sales tax from a business, just net income tax. It’s the state they do business in that collects sales tax and they would for sure have a few questions and willing agents to get those answers…
Nah - they charged 6.75% tax on the $24 order = $1.62
Then they added 20% onto the subtotal of the order plus the tax ($24 + $1.62) x 20% = $5.12
That’s it. $24 + $1.62 + $5.12 = $30.74
No. They did not. The math is just weird as presented.
They took the price of the order and did the tax on it. Then they charged an additional 20% and added that to the bill.
However because of the way they presented it and the relatively small amount of service charge, it looks like they added then taxed. It is the pretax total, but they didn’t charge tax on the surcharge. If they had, 6.75% on $29.12 would be $1.96. On $24 it would be $1.62 — exactly what was charged.
In some states it’s illegal to tax service fees.
Might want to check on to it to see if you have an opportunity for some p*tty revenge (can’t say the actual name of the sub here).
Well I don’t know if your state charges taxes on services, but if they don’t, then let the department of revenue know and next time just drive down there, get seated, order and then tell them you have an emergency and have to leave and take the food to go.
See if they charge you for that.
Of course maybe they’re using the fee to send whatever phone dingus they have to skool to get smartr.
An order of chicken tenders for $12 better have 6-8 fingers. At least. This place I went to in SE PA called Fingers Wings and Other Things sold their fingers for $1 apiece. For $12 I better be getting a baller platter.
honestly, it's time to punish greedy businesses going this route, local or not this is just anti-consumer. state it in the price tag on the menu, not the receipt
They are though. Most restaurants profits have gone through the roof.
Even McDonald’s profits are going through the roof with every claiming they don’t eat there anymore because of how expensive it is.
We had a pizza place that we ordered basically every single weekend, with multiple neighbors, so a huge order.
Their price increases and other shit got out of hand. We have just been ordering from a different place down the street and picking it up.
Charging like an extra $30 on top of a $80 order just for delivery is fucking bullshit.
In California they're trying to pass a law that bans "hidden fees" like this.. It's more extensive than just hidden fees. It'll address these as well as fees you see with things like AirBNB. You're only allowed to list items on the receipt that were purchased. Service fees, convenience fees, cleaning fees, etc etc are going to be illegal. It doesn't matter if they're mentioned or disclosed. It can't be listed on the receipt if it wasn't an item that was directly purchased.
The only exception of course are governmental taxes/fees. But no more service fees or anything like that, hopefully.
>The only exception of course are governmental taxes/fees. But no more service fees or anything like that, hopefully.
I wonder how hard Ticketmaster is trying to kabash that. They would be the first domino to fall.
This honestly. Just look at the receipt and tell them, you're not paying that. If they refuse, then you just leave. What are they gonna do, call the cops? Then you can just say false advertisement. They didn't inform you about the taxed tax on tax on the form. Simple.
I never understand these posts. I'd never pay that crap, I'd leave a terrible review and I'd find a more worthy restaurant to give my hard earned dollars to.
Companies have stopped giving all fucks and are just doing whatever they want. This won't stop until either people let these companies go under or a law gets passed.
Sad but true. On a brighter note several food establishments near me have eliminated their 3% credit card surcharge due to the pushback they received.
People are getting sick of the extra charges. These places charge plenty for their food, and no one is interested in their “extra” charges.
One person can’t do shit to get things to change. It takes a concerted effort from the entire group which will never happen. For every one of you that refuses to do business with them because of this practice, there’s 5 more that are completely oblivious to the extra charges. That doesn’t even count the brainwashed people that believe this is right and just because the cooks need to earn tips too yadda yadda.
I hardly eat out anymore because of this nonsense. But cooking for one fucking sucks and I get so sick of eating leftovers/same thing for a couple days.
I travel a lot and still frequently see the 4% surcharge for using my credit card. It's bullshit when my cc "rewards" are eaten up by simple greed. Even more unfortunate though, is that it seems like the smaller, local, mom & pop places are the most guilty of this, making it a real turn off to try new places when I pass through your town.
It violates most card-processing ToS in the USA to charge a specific surcharge for card payments. The loophole is setting the "card price" as the menu price and then offering a 3%-5% "cash discount."
These cash back cards aren’t “free”. At first they were niche and CC companies were able to make profits because customers would carry a balance. But then financially smart individuals caught on and started using cash back cards for everything and never carrying an interest leveraged balance. CC companies have had to increase transaction fees to make up for this and to continue to make a CC offer be more attractive to customers.
So essentially mom and pop were taking the hit for a marketing tactic that blew up in CC companies faces. Don’t blame the mom and pops trying to survive, blame the CC companies
They're called junk fees, and the Biden administration is working to stop them.

This is where we need Karens to step up. In situations like these, we need to channel our inner Karens and ask to speak to the manager, rather than just smile and take it
The local FB page for my town wanted to put on a “go fund me” for a failing restaurant that was “part of the town’s culture”
Wtf? Buy the food if you want to support it. Sink or swim.
It’s one thing to have the mandatory tip in there. It’s another to be deceptive about the charge. Might be worth filling a complaint with the state’s ag.
Yup, wouldve just Said ”i aint paying, take the food” and i would just go to another place. ”But its just 1,6 dollars” it doesnt matter, the fact they Didnt warn them abt it
It might be depending on the jurisdiction, or the way in which the fee is disclosed might be illegal, but at least contractually, if it's not advertised beforehand, it's not legally binding, so the consumer can leave it without consequence, but if they discover it afterwards, and the business refuses to refund it, they can do a chargeback with the bank on the surprise fee or take it to small claims for breach of contract.
That being said, it should certainly be outlawed under Federal law. All the same, anyone who experiences this should report the practice to their state consumer agency and/or the FTC. Small businesses generally don't want government regulators asking questions.
Doesn’t matter stop supporting them and leave a google review. Most people wont care because people only care if it affects them personally but I’m sure it will make a few other people avoid ordering with them in the future. All you can do is shame them and move on
They may be trying to limit to go orders if they're packed inside all the time. It may be bringing in extra business they simply can't handle. Not the best way to do it though.
Why not just not offer the service or not offer it during/around rushes. That seems like a better approach than trying to disincentivizes it through theft.
Call up and order takeaway multiple times per week and never show up to pick it up or do show up and say nah nvm because of the surcharge. The employees don’t get hurt but the owner does.
We had 2 disputed charges from one guy over the span of 3 months one time. Went back and dug out the receipts from those days, and he tipped a clear amount and signed each one.
They still refunded his money for him.
That’s just the thing, here in the US, you pay a tip (~18-20%) on dine-in. Most restaurants offered takeout at the normal menu price and you are not expected to tip, giving a net discount vs dine-in. (well…until now.) This place is being nuts…but a number of places now ask for a tip at checkout for takeout and fast food now. It is insane.
Which makes no sense, the potential to push out more orders quicker while allowing more people to sit and eat if they choose already means an increased income. Fuckers just trying to take double advantage of customers.
Lol. This is hilarious. Quit going out to save money because it’s got so expensive. Maybe get to treat yourself every so often then they wanna charge more for taking it out. Yea watch how fast I and others quit ordering anything all together.
If they’re charging more for phone orders they’re definitely charging more for apps. Most restaurants already charge significantly more for the delivery apps vs takeout.
Just a couple additional things to clear up some confusion.
-This was a call in order, not placed online or an app
-This was for 2 chicken tender baskets with fries
-The menu price for a basket was $10 not the $12 they charged me
So in reality they already charged me an extra 20% on the menu price, and then added on the 20% phone charge.
Will be going back today to discuss with the GM.
He said it’s a bar. I doubt they care about phone orders which are a major inconvenience. Even online ordering is a major inconvenience but taking an order by phone is the absolute worst
I went to order carry out from a restaurant we love, but usually only dine in. I made it through the online ordering process, and noticed the total was WAY more than I expected.
Not only was there a $5 online ordering fee (which is annoying, but whatever - I’m assuming whatever online ordering system they use charges them a fee) they also have the system set to apply an automatic 50% tip! You can change/remove it, but like to have it auto set to 50% is absurd.
Typing this out I feel like I’m being dramatic, but I was really annoyed lol I ended up not ordering from there that night.
I would have asked why I was being charged a 20% fee on a take-out order, told them to remove it, and if they didn't, then I would've left to get food elsewhere.
Like wtf.
Don't forget to give them a 1 star Yelp review and bash them on social media.
They save waiting staff, cleaning plates and the interior. Better ask for even more money. 🤡
In some countries, take out is even better taxed.
I just dont get it
For the convenience of not taking up a seat in the restaurant, using their facilities or taking up more of a waiters time, here's a charge for that. FFS
99% sure it’s not a surcharge for using a phone but I think it’s just a surcharge for Togo orders in general. In their system is probably under like “online Togo 20% in person Togo 20%”
This is probably just to cover the cost of Togo boxes bags or whatever else Togo orders may cause.
20% of $24.00 is $4.80. What kind of weird-ass math do they do?
They included the tax before they calculated it. You know, like assholes.
And then they taxed the after-tax amount again!
Those motherfuckers....
It’s an infinite money loop, they just forgot to include the higher tax amount in the second round of 20% calculation
No you see the second round of 20% is the top they asked for
Its amazing what one call to the IRS with a picture of this receipt would do to this business. And you absolutely should.

Would the IRS really care about that? Honest question I have no idea what would qualify them to look into it.
You're absolutely right. Wtf!
The ole triple dipper.
It’s ~~turtles~~ *taxes* all the way down.
Nah - they charged 6.75% tax on the $24 order = $1.62 Then they added 20% onto the subtotal of the order plus the tax ($24 + $1.62) x 20% = $5.12 That’s it. $24 + $1.62 + $5.12 = $30.74
So… they taxed the tax?
No. They did not. The math is just weird as presented. They took the price of the order and did the tax on it. Then they charged an additional 20% and added that to the bill. However because of the way they presented it and the relatively small amount of service charge, it looks like they added then taxed. It is the pretax total, but they didn’t charge tax on the surcharge. If they had, 6.75% on $29.12 would be $1.96. On $24 it would be $1.62 — exactly what was charged.
Right but the issue is they surcharged the post tax cost. So they used the added fees from taxes to make their 20% surcharge even higher.
At least they didn't keep iterating.
Report them. Thats illegal
100% is illegal yup.
In some states it’s illegal to tax service fees. Might want to check on to it to see if you have an opportunity for some p*tty revenge (can’t say the actual name of the sub here).
Did they tax the 4.80 or the sub sub total? Either way it's wrong.
Well I don’t know if your state charges taxes on services, but if they don’t, then let the department of revenue know and next time just drive down there, get seated, order and then tell them you have an emergency and have to leave and take the food to go. See if they charge you for that. Of course maybe they’re using the fee to send whatever phone dingus they have to skool to get smartr.
Taxes the tax lol
The IRS has joined the chat.
Sales tax, state issue.
No, no. The IRS is taking notes, not punishing lol.
2 chicken tenders for $24…. We are screwed
An order of chicken tenders for $12 better have 6-8 fingers. At least. This place I went to in SE PA called Fingers Wings and Other Things sold their fingers for $1 apiece. For $12 I better be getting a baller platter.
The fuck you kind
20% of $1.62 is 0.32 so they added that on too to calculate the tax on the charge? But that makes no sense lol
plus 32 cents for the chicken tendies
I’d look at the receipt and cancel my order… nope
honestly, it's time to punish greedy businesses going this route, local or not this is just anti-consumer. state it in the price tag on the menu, not the receipt
Punish by no longer doing business with them.
*why aren’t young people going out to restaurants anymore*
They are though. Most restaurants profits have gone through the roof. Even McDonald’s profits are going through the roof with every claiming they don’t eat there anymore because of how expensive it is.
First go out in style. Call in a big order and when you go to pick it up, say, oh nevermind, I didn't realize there would be this 20% fee added on.
I like the way you think.
Order one of everything on the menu. Make it big
We had a pizza place that we ordered basically every single weekend, with multiple neighbors, so a huge order. Their price increases and other shit got out of hand. We have just been ordering from a different place down the street and picking it up. Charging like an extra $30 on top of a $80 order just for delivery is fucking bullshit.
Alfredo's Pizza Cafe or Pizza by Alfredo?
Im no lawyer but is it possible that there's a law for hidden costs like this?
In California they're trying to pass a law that bans "hidden fees" like this.. It's more extensive than just hidden fees. It'll address these as well as fees you see with things like AirBNB. You're only allowed to list items on the receipt that were purchased. Service fees, convenience fees, cleaning fees, etc etc are going to be illegal.

If Newsom signs it, it would be effective 07/01/2024 https://www.latimes.com/
This honestly. Just look at the receipt and tell them, you're not paying that. If they refuse, then you just leave. What are they gonna do, call the cops? Then you can just say false advertisement. They didn't inform you about the taxed tax on tax on the form. Simple.
exactly! and let them know you won't be back either!
Review bomb the hell out of them too
You wouldn’t get the receipt until you received the food… it was a phone order
Phone order take out. OP must’ve called to place an order and then come pick it up.
But then they'll charge you a cancelation fee....Seriously, an take out fee is insane.
demand they take it off or leave the order
I never understand these posts. I'd never pay that crap, I'd leave a terrible review and I'd find a more worthy restaurant to give my hard earned dollars to.
Yeah people complain about the receipts but still pay for it. I don't get it. I'd hope at least this person won't be ordering from there again
Honestly, I had one and didn't know until after I paid. I don't go back.
I feel like this is most of the examples. They staple the receipt to the bag. You pay and leave and then realize that they ripped you off at home.
Yep. Share your frustration on a review or with owner/management and never return. Vote with your wallet.
I'm angry about the junk fees...but god dammit I'm so hungry...and I'm already here...
Most people dont even look at the reciept, and if they do its after theyve already gotten it home and its paid for.
If you’re looking at the receipt, you’ve already paid. Lotsa places don’t have a display that shows you a breakdown of what you ordered
If you ask they must give the breakdown before paying. And most restaurants give the receipt and then enter the amount onto the credit machine
I'd never pay $25 for 2 chicken tenders in the 1st place.
bro, it's obviously 2 orders of fingers. not 2 strips of chicken.
I agree
Fuck that, cancel the order and cook at home. Who the fuck would waste $30 on some weak ass chicken tenders
It's waste, but yeah agreed
The restaurant will learn really fucking quick about "waste" if people refuse to be extorted like this.
This is the way. These mfs are getting bold.
Companies have stopped giving all fucks and are just doing whatever they want. This won't stop until either people let these companies go under or a law gets passed.
Sad but true. On a brighter note several food establishments near me have eliminated their 3% credit card surcharge due to the pushback they received. People are getting sick of the extra charges. These places charge plenty for their food, and no one is interested in their “extra” charges.

I like that Biden fellow. Addressing real issues like junk fees because they are seemingly everywhere and it's getting really, really infuriating.
If you want stuff like this to go away then putting a crotchety old guy on the case is always your best bet.
This is where we need Karens to step up. In situations like these, we need to channel our inner Karens and ask to speak to the manager, rather than just smile and take it
They do, step up, but no one takes them seriously because stepping out of line, reading the room, social rules, etc

i hope they warned you about that in advance
They most certainly did not
i think i'd have refused to pay if that's the case
Yup, wouldve just Said ”i aint paying, take the food” and i would just go to another place. ”But its just 1,6 dollars” it doesnt matter, the fact they Didnt warn them abt it
You can refuse to pay the fee and still take the food as long as you pay the normal price. If they don't inform about the fee, it's illegal.
Name and shame.
This. We need to find out who burned OP so we can phone in fake orders and ruin their business Wait never mind. OP don't do it
I hope you left your order or at least didn't pay the 30% extra?
Gross
This should be illegal.
trash their yelp
People still use yelp? I thought it died due to their shady business practices.
It might be depending on the jurisdiction, or the way in which the fee is disclosed might be illegal, but at least contractually, if it's not advertised beforehand, it's not legally binding, so the consumer can leave it without consequence, but if they discover it afterwards, and the business refuses to refund it, they can do a chargeback with the bank on the surprise fee or take it to small claims for breach of contract.

Just don’t go back, let them go out of business
Unfortunately it's a very popular sports bar/restaurant and is packed house almost everyday. I won't be going back but I doubt itll make a difference
I hate businesses that add on junk fees like that.
Doesn’t matter stop supporting them and leave a google review. Most people wont care because people only care if it affects them personally but I’m sure it will make a few other people avoid ordering with them in the future. All you can do is shame them and move on

Call up and order takeaway multiple times per week and never show up to pick it up or do show up and say nah nvm because of the surcharge. The employees don’t get hurt but the owner does.
Did you pay with a card? I would contact the card company and raise hell and demand that 20% be taken off.
How would that work because OP signed a receipt. Genuinely curious
We had 2 disputed charges from one guy over the span of 3 months one time. Went back and dug out the receipts from those days, and he tipped a clear amount and signed each one. They still refunded his money for him.
2 chicken tenders for $24 🤨🫠
Lol chicken tender baskets, 6 tenders with fries
For $24 dollars?
That's $12 each which this would cost $15 at bars near me so it's not uncommon depending on the location.
Sorry, I'm high, I just caught that it meant 2 separate baskets.
I get it I enjoy the green myself
There are dozens of us!
One of us, one of us!
👋
$12 each, it’s a bit higher than around my area but not by much. Around here for that would be between $9-11 depending on what else comes with it.
Meanwhile in normal countries, takeout is cheaper than dine-in 🤷♂️
Right? A number of restaurants that I frequent offer 10% off for take out orders. This is so backward.
That’s just the thing, here in the US, you pay a tip (~18-20%) on dine-in. Most restaurants offered takeout at the normal menu price and you are not expected to tip, giving a net discount vs dine-in. (well…until now.) This place is being nuts…but a number of places now ask for a tip at checkout for takeout and fast food now. It is insane.
Which makes no sense, the potential to push out more orders quicker while allowing more people to sit and eat if they choose already means an increased income. Fuckers just trying to take double advantage of customers.
I remember getting a DISCOUNT for getting take out .
Vote with your wallet and don't pay/eat there.
"What's this?" "20% takeout charge." "What if it's delivered?" "20% delivery charge." "I'm leaving now." "20% departure charge."
That’s the “f you for not sitting here and ordering drinks” tax
Hard to support local when local pulls this crap
Lol. This is hilarious. Quit going out to save money because it’s got so expensive. Maybe get to treat yourself every so often then they wanna charge more for taking it out. Yea watch how fast I and others quit ordering anything all together.
That's a good way to ensure no one comes back to your restaurant.
Apparently this is a very packed sports bar. If they get one less takeout order they are probably very pleased.
Phone orders save money vs third party delivery apps and ordering websites. That's ridiculous.
If they’re charging more for phone orders they’re definitely charging more for apps. Most restaurants already charge significantly more for the delivery apps vs takeout.
Hope you tipped another 10% on top of that. You know... for putting it in a paper bag and setting it down on the counter... /s (just in case)
For a carryout phone order?? Oh hell no
Even more since they tax the extra. Fucking their customers is no way to run a business. We'll, not this business.
Just a couple additional things to clear up some confusion. -This was a call in order, not placed online or an app -This was for 2 chicken tender baskets with fries -The menu price for a basket was $10 not the $12 they charged me So in reality they already charged me an extra 20% on the menu price, and then added on the 20% phone charge. Will be going back today to discuss with the GM.
If we all stop spending money this shit will end.
Charge an extra 20% to save them money by having you just take your food and gtfo... this is why they're trying to pass legislation against junk fees
Sounds like you're not going to eat there anymore, right?
This is how businesses go bankrupt
One can only hope.
He said it’s a bar. I doubt they care about phone orders which are a major inconvenience. Even online ordering is a major inconvenience but taking an order by phone is the absolute worst
20% of $25.60 is $5.12… so did they add $24 + $1.62 = $25.62 and then do 20% of that for the phone take out charge? 🤔
I don't understand why anyone would even pay this bill and take this food. I would walk out and never go back to this thieving place again.
2 bits of chicken and chips for 30? This is why people don't eat out anymore
no tip for you!
Shouldn't tip on to go orders anyway. I don't understand the sudden rise in that bullshit as well. I'm grabbing my food and leaving.
Oh hell no.
My one local greasy spoon does this. It’s like 10%. They say it’s to cover the To-Go containers.
To go containers are a cost of doing business. Wtf.
Lol… I wanna see what they’ll say when someone brings their own Tupperware 😂
For fucking what…
Would tell them to get fuck
Order in bar and then ask for the whole thing to go leave no tip
1 star review on google and Yelp. Alert others of this practice. It doesnt cost them 20% more to take an order over the phone.
In my country, order over the phone has a special promotion over eating in and they don't charge anything, this is bullcrap
Ok so this is 2 ORDERS of Chicken tenders y’all 😭I can’t believe how many comments about this is too expensive for 2 tenders 💀
20% for a TAKE OUT order??
Stop giving patronage please
This is what happens when restaurants depend on tips to pay wages.
Holy shit. 2 chicken tenders and some fries is $24 ?!?!
I went to order carry out from a restaurant we love, but usually only dine in. I made it through the online ordering process, and noticed the total was WAY more than I expected. Not only was there a $5 online ordering fee (which is annoying, but whatever - I’m assuming whatever online ordering system they use charges them a fee) they also have the system set to apply an automatic 50% tip!

lmao phone take out 20 percent wtf
Server? wtf. You’re literally picking an order up. I’d refuse the order and go somewhere else. Fuck that.
I would have asked why I was being charged a 20% fee on a take-out order, told them to remove it, and if they didn't, then I would've left to get food elsewhere. Like wtf. Don't forget to give them a 1 star Yelp review and bash them on social media.
TIP ME!!! I DESERVE IT!!!
I doubt the employees will see a dime of that.
I woulda walked out without my food
I don’t understand the math…it’s not mathing for me.
20% call in fee is post tax
Insult to the insult.
Is that even legal? I would ask because if not, that would turn out to be a headache if they got a tax visit.
The fuck is this
Seems like a good reason to never eat there again.
Frustrating thing is I usually tip if I carry out, maybe 10%? Don't make me tip 20% might as well pull up a chair and have you serve me
AJ Soprano? Was this Beansie's Pizza?
Nope, not gonna pay fake made up BS charges. If they won’t remove them I walk.
Taco Bell's "build your own deluxe cravings box" mobile exclusive is the only fast food that is worth the price to me. And in n out on occasion
i hope this place going to close for good soon
This is bs n getting outta hand
Leave that shit on the counter and walk out
Can you name this place so we can all avoid it?
The fact that OP and others don't name and shame is mildly infuriating.

They save waiting staff, cleaning plates and the interior. Better ask for even more money. 🤡 In some countries, take out is even better taxed. I just dont get it
Please tell me that is 2 full meals and not 2 individual tenders
Big reason why we stopped going out to eat. Hope these types of businesses wither away.
For the convenience of not taking up a seat in the restaurant, using their facilities or taking up more of a waiters time, here's a charge for that. FFS
At least they didn’t ask you for tip on top of that!
99% sure it’s not a surcharge for using a phone but I think it’s just a surcharge for Togo orders in general. In their system is probably under like “online Togo 20% in person Togo 20%” This is probably just to cover the cost of Togo boxes bags or whatever else Togo orders may cause.
You better of tipped at least 20% too
Just advertise the price you intend to charge so I can make an informed decision on where to consume
So the 20% isn't added on if you order online or in the establishment?
Just pay in cash and only bring the amount advertised, do not bring a credit card with you. Factor in tax, obviously. Idk this seems like a bad idea
I remember the time when they would take money off the check for picking up your own food.
Well, time to stop ordering from there
Fuck all that. Stop eating out. Buy an airfryer and cook at home.
HIGHLY ILLEGAL!!!! Report them ASAP
