Let’s eat our way out of the climate crisis

No, thanks. A (very good) local bakery in our town has:

A 20% service fee that is marketed as a "wellness" fee.

A new ZFP surcharge that they market as a "donation."

A credit card processing fee.

Plus taxes.

Plus asking for a tip that is of course defaulted to the highest amount.

I did not choose to do business with ZFP and it is certainly not a "donation" because it is added by default to the bill when you pay. At this point I have no shame about asking someone behind the counter to remove these extra fees.

For the most part, we have started to avoid bushiness that tack on all of these extra charges.
