A few restaurants in Austin, Texas, are the latest to ask diners to chip in a little extra for the sake of their employees’ health and well-being.
Foreign & Domestic, in Austin’s North Loop, and Hoover’s Cooking, in Cherrywood, have recently added surcharges to patrons’ checks to help cover the cost of health insurance and paid sick leave, respectively.
Foreign & Domestic’s optional 3 percent surcharge was added to each bill after co-owners Sarah Heard and Nathan Lemley started providing “great” health insurance for employees as of Jan. 1, but patrons can request to decline the charge — though Heard told Fox News that most diners haven’t.

Ignoring my stance on tipping, why the hell should I (as a diner) pay for YOUR employees pto, vacation and healthcare. Raise the food cost if that's what it takes but to add a surcharge on my meal, socialist.
Hoover’s Cooking, meanwhile, institutes a mandatory $1 “community value contribution,”
The hell is this crap?
Community value contribution. This isn't China you commies. This socialist crap will destroy this country.
