9/26/22: "New Jersey Customers Now Responsible For Another Expense When Eating Out"- This article does bring up good questions about who should get stuck with the bill for paying for the needs of employees. I agree with this article that customers should not be stuck with these bills and that it should come out of any profits the restaurant/business makes. Also another point that this article does not bring up is that if people are paying by card, any service fees for the staff are taxed. In the past if customers just left cash then it was a way for servers to have a little extra money, but now this money on cards is directly taxable and trackable. This is good for the government, but bad for workers that don't make much money in the first place. Also by auto charging for tip and kitchen fees it allows the staff to not perform their best because they know that they will get a cut even if they do not perform. https://943thepoint.com/new-jersey-restaurants-kitchen-appreciation-fee/?fbclid=IwAR0oOMyMOTxa8oUjX7TJLDqOZQrWKkGPplaPN5vnIYUgRoyRF7Ti4UZrE_w
