I just got banned from a forum for calling out a "service charge" as being nothing more than an additional fee, literally because I was the only one that didn't accept the service fee as a given.

It pisses me off to see countries adopting additional fees instead of just raising the prices on the menu.

The service fee I questioned was in Jamaica and is a 10% "service fee", yet then they want gratuity for the servers.

It just reminds me that sometimes having the unpopular opinion even when you're right can have repercussions.
