If the line above the aca surcharge does not get folks riled up, I doubt the aca part will.

That’s double charging because you are already paying Obamacare.

You could deduct the whole bill for your own Obamacare.

“If the line above the aca surcharge does not get folks riled up, I doubt the aca part will.”

Did the media tell people to be upset? If they didn’t hear it was bad from the media, it must not be bad.

We have a public that is disengaged, and often unable to analyze. The media thinks for them.

The line way above the ACA surcharge pisses me off.

Paying $2.49 for an iced tea. Grrrrr.

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Pay the ACA and don’t tip. That should rile some folks. You can say it’s one or the other. Then too, I bet restaurant traffic will slow some.

Customers in restaurants, and other service industries where tips are usually given, can easily adjust their tips to make up for the ACA costs that are passed on to them (whether or not these costs appear as a separate line item on the bill).

It will be interesting to watch the chain reactions, as the economy adjusts to the financial shock of the ACA.

That is a great idea. More businesses should do that.

1% — for now. But sure to increase over time. Most of the sheeple won’t even notice it.

The escape is easy. Unfortunately, it hurts the restaurants.

For my family it is a matter of principle. We grow as much of our own food as possible and use as little from our economy as possible as a way to starve the beast any way we can.

I bet you’re right. I won’t patronize an establishment that tacks on this charge.

I’ll be sure to deduct that surcharge from the tip. By far and large the voting block for Obama includes restaurant workers.

At least, they don’t hide it in a price increase.

But if a restaurant doesn't include it as a line item, and simply raises prices by 1% because of Obamacare, you will patronize them.

Makes perfect sense.
