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.

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.

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’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.

It's too bad we don't have a method to report just how heavy taxes are in our product chain. Each process in the chain could report their tax/regulation costs for categories on a product, sales tax, property tax, etc..

Then, every product carries with it a sum total of all the taxes that have been collected in order to get it to the shelf, this would include gasoline/tobacco.alcohol, etc. When the consumer finally gets the product, the tax load for their purchase is listed on the rcpt so everyone could finally realize the TRUE scope of their tax burden and how it gets passed down from those evil rich bastagez whom everyone loves to hate, and pulled from their wallets. If people could only see that they are giving government the majority of their income, some things might just change. It would unfortunately put a heavy burden on the producers to track it all

It would be foolish to blame a restaurant or a server for having to raise their prices as a result of 0care. It's not their fault. They're just doing what they have to in order to survive.

I'm actually glad they're doing this and wish more restaurants would follow. It will piss people off and hopefully make them think about the repercussions of electing Marxist democrats.

IF they put the charge plainly on the menu and signage announcing such so patrons know they are going to be charged prior to ordering. Then I have no problem with it. I can just get back in the car and take my business elsewhere.

If however they drop such a charge on me after I have dined well I can tell you the manager is not going to enjoy my soliloquy that I will preform in a loud and boisterous manner!

If I catch an obamacare surcharge on my bill, I won’t go back. If that means that I have to stop eating at restaurants, so be it.
