The loophole for service charges, and union-bargained service charges that distribute those charges unequally, strikes me as a bit rotten. (Maybe it’s necessary for San Francisco politics.)
The only legitimate exemption are fixed-charge fees which are clearly disclosed during the ordering process. Exempting unions, service charges and taxes is arbitrary.
California banned junk fees. Then the legislature changed its mind and passed a carve-out for restaurants. We’re trying to stop it, and we need your help. Petition circulation begins Saturday, March 1, 2025.
