    And this is your cue that this is serious.

    Or maybe just raise the price 50¢?

    We need a transparent pricing law.
    Advertised price needs to be final price. All included.

      This IS transparent pricing.

      If they raise the price, it’s not coming down. That’ll just be the new price. If it’s a temporary surcharge specifically due to the avian flu that’s currently ravaging US chicken farms, then it could be rescinded and prices could return to normal later on. I don’t know about you, but I would rather pay more temporarily than indefinitely.

      To your point, if you want the advertised price to be the final price, you should call your congressperson and discuss getting rid of tipping statewide and using the total price (including tax) on menu items instead of subtotals. That has nothing to do with Waffle House, though.

        If they add a fee, it’s not going away. It’s just the start of paying „fees“ for the ingredients. Next up: „flour surcharge“

          I don’t think you should be worried about waffle house of all places adding permanent fees like that…

      Waffle House menus actually show prices that include tax. Only place I know of.

    They shouldn’t be allowed to decrease the price when the pandemic ends

    We need to increase the price every year on these goods that destroy the climate
