Make it illegal for restaurants and hospitality industry to add service charge
Make it illegal for service charge to be added to your bill as we are paying it without realising, we are paying an other added value charge to your food and beverage bill as well as we are already pay TAX and VAT on our food and beverage,
Stop restaurants and hospitality companies from adding service charge to our bill this is unfair, we believe this is a hidden charge which is adding 10%-20% to our bill it is not right to do, it is another tax added on the consumer shoulder.
it is not right they display a price and at the end they add service charge.
many consumers stop going to restaurants because of service charge and this will affect business a long terms
