“Dear PoPville,
Did restaurant week yesterday. We’ve heard of 3 or 4% fair wage charges….. but 20% ?!! which doesn’t include tip. anyone else seeing these type of charges? is there any way to know before going to a restaurant if they have these?”
Note: It’s a bit confusing isn’t it? Will “provide competitive wages and benefits to both kitchen and service staff.” Aren’t servers, “service staff.” So is one not expected to tip since they are being compensated with this fee? Is this just to cover minimum wage? What is the tipping etiquette here?
Especially *Free* Ice Cream:
“National Soft Serve Day at Marv’s!🍦 This Wednesday, August 19, the first 50 soft servs (yes, we stylize ours without the ‘e’) are FREE with the purchase of any of our signature hot dogs!
Come for the dogs. Get the soft serv. Get here early.

“Dear PoPville,
I live in a large apartment building that sits directly above a restaurant (which opened early last fall). Nearly every day for two months, they have been operating a very loud industrial fan right below my window whenever the restaurant is open, which I have measured at 70 db from outside at the property line and 80 db from my apartment (with the window open), and sounds like someone is running a lawn mower nonstop.

I scheduled an inspection with the Department of Buildings and got an email confirming that it was conducted, and that they did not find any violations. This seems odd since (more…)
