Starting July 1, restaurants in California won’t be allowed to have hidden fees but they could increase prices to make up for it.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A lot of diners are angry and confused about certain fees showing up on their restaurant receipts. Many say they’re surprised at the extra dollars tacked onto the bill that aren’t food, tax or tip.
“I noticed a charge on my receipt that was quite surprising, something I had never seen before,” said customer Dani Dean.
Dean, a busy mom in Auburn, recently took her kids out for a pizza dinner.
“I was in such a rush that I kind of just grabbed my food, paid and left and I didn’t notice my receipt until after I had left the restaurant,” said Dean.
Not knowing what the fee was, she went to social media to see if other people experienced it too and it turns out she wasn’t alone.
