I bet restaurant traffic will slow some

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

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.

Why is that? Not trying to pick a fight - just trying to understand why some FReepers don't seem to be okay with this.

"I won’t patronize an establishment that tacks on this charge."

Everyone is tacking it on and it's hidden in product price increases. this guy is just separating it out as a line item so you can see the effects of the new ACA expenses.

You have zero choice.
You will patronize a restaurant that tacks on this charge because obamacare is extracting the money from all of them. They must pass that cost on to their customers. Period.

They may raise prices across the board, or they may list it as a surcharge as these people are doing.

There is no money tree.

Why? They are being honest and whether they list it or not all businesses will be adding the charge to your final bill in order to pay for it.

The thing is not only are you paying your own ACA premium you are also paying/subsidizing theirs as well. I’m pretty sure there are signs to the effect that this will be added to your bill.

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

I’d be more likely to. This restaurant is being honest about its Obamacare costs. Not to mention they are making a point.
