They need to sell meals... I don't have to eat at their restaurant. I'll simply take my business elsewhere after I reflect the irritation they inflicted on me back at them.I will not pay a mandatory "service fee" even if it is a place I have gone to for years! If the business cannot afford their expenses, they should raise their rates, and I will most likely pay the increased rate. I will not let them try to put their hand in my pocket because of their greed or lack of business acumen. If someone owns or operates a business they should not try to tell their customers to cover their business expenses. After final bargaining for a new car purchase, I tell the dealership "Now deduct the dealership fee or I WILL WALK AWAY. I have gotten out of the door but never was able to leave the lot before it was deducted.
I've used the same approach with car salesmen... they have to sell cars but I don't need to buy their car and have more than once simply gotten up and walked out over "fees" added after the price was set.
Come to think of it, I had the same attitude with girls who expected me to empty my wallet on entertaining them.
