“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to get the take of the hivemind. Last week, I was out at Dacha with some friends and was settling my tab. The server came over and informed me that there was an extra 20% service charge levied on the bill so the restaurant could pay staff $15 an hour. Although he didn’t inform us of this prior to settling my tab, in theory, I have no issue with this. I was a server before and think tipped employees deserve far more than they get. He turned the Clover around and presented me with a screen that then gave me the option to tip. I asked him if the 20% service charge was en lieu of a tip and he told me that it was not. He explained that the service charge gets split up amongst the staff and the tip would be directly for him. (more…)

Update from Fare Well:
“Let the brand merge begin! Welcome Sticky Fingers Diner to the H St. NE family. Farewell to Eat Fare Well, in name only.”
“Dear PoPville,
I just walked by the space formerly occupied by Fare Well, the vegan diner located at 406 H St NE. I noticed that the Fare Well signage has been removed and replaced with Sticky Fingers signage. I know the two eateries share the same ownership group, but I wonder what this means in practical terms for the business model. (more…)
