A surcharge tacked on is a really underhand, sneaky way to charge a customer. Am already mad at airlines who do it.
IF I see that on my bill, the server gets no tip, period.
See how long it lasts.
These people are math-challenged. Of course, only the math-challenged could think that turning up the thermostat = 3% Obamacare surcharge.
You might want to bite the bullet and take one for the team. This MAY help to wake up the lofos.
I wish gas stations would post the amount of tax per gallon of gasoline.
And I wish taxes weren’t withheld from paychecks. Mark Levin said it would be one of his first initiatives if he were elected president.
“We want our staff to have healthcare. It’s not because we support Obama or don’t support Obama, or are Democrats or are not Democrats.”
B^%$ S&^%!!
I already paid for MY health care (and NO ONE HELPED ME)... now YOU pay for YOURS!
How do I know that they are paying for the employee’s healthcare?

Why? Clearly the price of the meal has to go up to pay the added cost. It’s better that the voting consumer understands why it went up. That helps our side...
Regardless of whether a restaurant or any other business tacks on a surcharge for O-Care, you're paying for it. If they don't have a surcharge, they'll just raise their prices to cover it. At least with the surcharge, the libiots who vote for this kind of stuff get to feel it in a way that might make them question their support of such laws.
I disagree.
Either way the customers are paying for it. I want everyone to know how much.
How/why is a surcharge which is clearly identified on the bill, sneaky or underhanded? Quite frankly, restaurants that add this surcharge are doing God’s Work, pointing out to their customers, that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Healthcare isn’t free and someone has to pay for it.
Ah, we’re seeing the ‘generous’ ‘compassionate’ side of liberals. Its A OK for you to have to pay (by force if necessary) for someone elses health care but they shouldnt have to. After all liberals are great at spending other peoples cash while hoarding their own. LOL, the reality of BarryCare is being to sink in and only the happy few will be exempted. Well, no matter, liberals need a cause and this could be as good as any. LOL!
if they just raised their prices across the board 3% nobody would know. “yup, just inflation and higher costs of doing business.”
people’d pay and not bitch.

You mean like paying $25-$50 extra for any seat not in the center in economy? Thanks AA!/S
Obamacare is a drag on all commerce and the people should be told about it everyday.
I don’t have a problem with them putting the surcharge on the ticket, it’s certainly less “underhanded” than merely upping prices. But for those thinking that listing will cause some sort of anti-Obamacare rebellion need to look at their phone bills. When people rebel against the Spanish-American war tax I’ll believe there’s a possibility of people rebelling against the Obamacare surcharge.
Oh, I have the opposite opinion.
I think a line by line listing of what the gov’t is costing people would be beneficial.
You know it would be because democRats do everything in their power to prevent it. They have sent thugsquads after businesses that try to pass this information on to their customers like this.
It’s why they oppose the NRST - because the cost of gov’t is in your face with every purchase.
Huh? you’re paying for it one way or another. Would you rather they hide the cost in the price of the meal?
I prefer them telling me what tax I’m paying.
Ever see hotel bills? They disclose the taxes so why shouldn’t a restaurant? I prefer that they do that rather than just raise prices. It isn’t like their costs did not really go up due to Obama-care.
I think it is a splendid idea. Let people know that ideas have consequences. Those who support obamacare should realize that it increases the cost of doing business and in the end customers will pay. Restaurant could just have raised prices. This way people know obama costs them.
The comments at the LA Times article are 10-1 liberals whining about the 3% added to their bill, they think the business should just eat the cost of obamacare.
