Where is the Morton's that is charging a "healthcare fee?"
I think in some west coast cities that is being mandated (San Francisco) at restaurants...

I think Black Angus must have been too distressed for Landry's to bite on it back when it went bankrupt which is funny since Landry's bought up so many similar concepts. Black Angus had a pretty good run though, a lot longer than many chains of its era did. Many old 70's and 80's restaurants that hung on as neighborhoods declined for a long time too. Maybe the heavy couponing helped but I did like Black Angus well enough.Bagels wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2020, 2:47 am Coincidentally, when I was flipping through one of the unsolicited newspapers that's mailed to everyone, it listed Claim Jumper (along with Black Angus, El Torito, Coco's and others) as legacy California restaurants not likely to survive to 2030.
I didn't realize Black Angus had dropped to just 40 restaurants...
Portland, Ore. The waiter had to explain it to every table when he'd lay the check down when it was new. There was a small sign posted near the entrance.storewanderer wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2020, 8:50 pmWhere is the Morton's that is charging a "healthcare fee?"

It's either that or they are trying to make a political message.storewanderer wrote: ↑June 14th, 2020, 10:51 pm Claim Jumper has not yet reopened in Reno but I see some of their other locations reopened (Roseville reopened, Sacramento didn't). When trying to look into it on the website, I came across something new. A 3% surcharge in CA locations only to cover "increased costs."
Maybe they are just trying to fail? Almost like they want to do a price increase but don't want to pay to re-do menus so this is a cheaper/easier way to go.

Even if a customer may emphasize with their political message, the customer is not going to like to pay a fee for it. It is just a silly piece of friction to add to the conversation at the end of the meal when a customer sees this on the bill (maybe they won't notice). But the customer probably wouldn't care if that burger was on the menu at 14.99 or 15.49. Oh they could even squeeze a little more than 3% out of it if they did it that way... +3% and round up to the nearest 9 cents.klkla wrote: ↑June 16th, 2020, 8:54 pm

It's a pretty stupid move IMO. Their rationalization doesn't make any sense so I don't see what else it could be. People would never have noticed a 3% price increase and if their competitors don't do the same thing they will look like they are finding a way to gouge customers.
