A couple of years ago I was in a national chain restaurant in Washington State and they added what I thought was a ridiculous % amount to my check. It was so high, I asked to see the manager, and that was probably the first time in my 65 years of ever asking to see the manager at any business. He had a flippant attitude and said all the restaurants in Seattle are doing this and the added amount went to the company so that all employees could have health insurance, 401k and good wages. It was not paid to my server. He refused to remove it from my bill, so I paid with a card and gave my waiter cash tip. I will never eat at that chain again.
