Junk fees to go away in Minnesota starting Jan. 1, 2025

[@larryolson6464]

Why would a restaurant need to raise prices? (At 1:25 or so). They are already charging the fee. Are they just raising the prices on the menu so that it is clearer and they can't have the 'hidden' fee? I'm not too impressed with Hospitality Minnesota and I wish the reporter would have asked the question of why prices would go up.

Sorry Angie, these fees are 100% junk. I'm all for hospitality employees receiving better wages and benefits. However, this is an employee/employer issue. If the employer feels they need to raise menu prices to afford these offered employee benefits, then that is their perogative! At the end of the day, I the consumer, can make an educated decision about where I want to dine based on accurate and transparent menu prices and not be swindled by hidden fees that are tacked onto the bill after the fact(even if included in small print at the bottom of a menu). I'm glad we are finally putting an end to this unethical practice!

These fees are complete junk. so happy they are going away!

Broke people should not be going out to dinner in the first place.

Automatic gratuity will still be an issue. That bakery in North Loop adds an automatic 15% tip on every order, even when you're just ordering a croissant to go.

You probably paid $4 for that croissant but you’re gonna bitch about the $.60 gratuity? SMH

Easy to fix....DON'T GO THERE.

[@austinmclaen4007]

How about taxes?

[@jeepster0934]
