This is just another reason to boycott BGW. But the biggest reason of all, is the price of parking.

This surcharge has been gone for a while.

Meh and it was on them for not just raising prices, instead they flagged it as something to be mad about...tisk.

So, great news out of Richmond: I think Virginia successfully outlawed United Parks-style surcharges!

One of the new provisions amended into the Virginia Consumer Protections Act:

No supplier shall, in connection with a consumer transaction, advertise or display a price for goods or services without clearly and conspicuously displaying the total price, which shall include all mandatory fees or surcharges.

You can scroll down to the bottom of the full text to see the new additions (most notably Chapter 58) here. This new version of the law is set to go into effect July 1st.

Does this include the required tips at almost every restaurant now?

 

[RollyCoaster]

It's not required that you tip. The surcharge was required. Tipping a service worker was never required.

I don't want to make this into a big discussion of the bill, but I'll answer this.

A restaurant or hotel is compliant with this section if, in every offer or advertisement for the purchase of a good or service that includes pricing information, such restaurant or hotel includes a clear and conspicuous disclosure of the percentage of any automatic and mandatory gratuities charged.

Further discussion about the law itself beyond its relationship to BGW's previous surcharge regime will be moved, just a heads-up.

The surcharge would stop is after pushing everyone would refuse to pay the surcharge. But we are as bunch of lemmings
