Usually restaurants want people to come back.
They won't do that but the fear has been planted in your mind by government.
Only they can protect you because every business is out to kill you or make you deathly ill

It annoys me because they are attempting to make it a political issue instead of raising their prices. It is a sleight of hand. And if this company is anything like the SF restaurants, months from now we are going to uncover this fee went straight to the bottom line and not towards health care costs.
Many businesses give public notice as to why they raise their prices...how is this any different?

At least you'll know why your bill is higher..not due to the food costs.
You don't enjoy going out to eat without being bombarded by the restaurant owner's political opinions? I do. Something tells me you do too, if you were to disagree with that particular owner's personal politics. That's the difference between you and I, you are so hostile and partisan that everyone to you is either friend or foe, I don't mind people who have different opinions but if I'm paying to eat at your restaurant, I don't want to be informed of your politics, even if I happen to agree. You don't want to provide healthcare to employees making $4.77 an hour? Write your Congressman, leave me out of it.

Think if it as "your fair share".
You wanted it now you get to pay for it.

Hostile ?
LOL..I think they all should do that.
You guys voted health insurance for all and expected everyone but yourselves to pay for it.
The joke is on you. YOU get to pay for it.

You're confusing processing plants with restaurants now.
Make up your mind about what you are outraged at.

So you're for safety inspections in meat processing plants?

Free market should adjust for people that don't want human flesh mixed into their sausages though, right?
