Do you really think you aren’t paying for it? It’s just being shown to you upfront, that’s all.

“Obamacare surcharge”. Great. I hope they don’t lose customers over it, though.
The IRS will probably have something to say about this, soon, if more businesses start this practice.

Well, it’s either this, or raise menu prices without an explanation. If this 3% reflects the cost of doing business, then it allows customers to see how much of what they pay goes to this expense.
To: MrB
While they are at it, they should show the Medicare and OASDI charges as well.

Customers were going to pay it anyway; might as well break it out and itemize it.

This is like the "shop fees" and "EPA fees" every garage charges in addition to their prices. Stop advertising $19.95 oil changes when there is no way to get it done for less than $24.50 plus sales tax. Unless I have the option to bring my own bucket to take home the old oil.

Really? Maybe there should be a rent surcharge, a global warming surcharge, a business license surcharge, a laundry surcharge, a garbage surcharge, a water surcharge, etc.

**Its not MY responsibility to take care of YOUR employees healthcare

Well, maybe not the best analogy since with all the tax credits, it may just be free money.
To: andyk
I do like the honesty inherent in this approach. I wish businesses would do this for tax increases as well. If a 10% increase in corporate tax rates, for instance, led directly to a 10% surcharge in the price of consumer goods, maybe the LI voters would be less inclined to favor increasing taxes on corporations. As it is now, of course, they’re still paying the surcharge; they just don’t realize it.

Let me be the first to apologize for my fellow Californian. We grow stupid out here, we try to keep it locally confined - this one slipped through.

Must be a very expensive restaurant if only 3% of sales pays for all the employes’ health insurance.

I think all built-in taxes should be listed on the menu or receipt
if that is possible

List it as a tax. That’s what Robert’s calls it. It’s enforced by the IRS. List it as a tax.

I'm not willing to assume that the cost would have strictly come out of the owner's profits sans the surcharge.

If an establishment is doing that, it should be public information. That way people who DON’T want to pay for it can go elsewhere.
I think that’s fair.
