A new law was appointed to give customers the ability to cancel the subscription to hidden service fees and automatic advice in restaurants.
Florida lawmakers have invented a bill that re -controls the consumer, but the hospitality industry in the state will suffer from the relevant servers as a result.

Often, when a large party goes to a restaurant, an automatic tip is added.
However, according to Bill HB 535, entitled “Public Residence Institutions and Public Institutions for Public Services, Florida Restaurants will not be able to automatically for the tumors of six or less size groups.
Although the main function of the law is to facilitate the facilitation of restaurants and hotels to remove customers who do not pay their bill, this additional section that addresses automatic advice has made its way as an amendment.
Regi Majs, the owner of the Irish bar in Mihan, is concerned that the new law will destroy the opportunity to compensate the employees for the additional work they do when serving large groups.
She explained that many members of her team have to help care for a large party, which means that they are unable to help serve other tables a lot.
She told WJAX-TV, and as a result, they should have been added automatic advice to their meals.
But for many Diners, the bill will reduce the “disappointment” of having to pay a great advice by force.
Brandon Woody told 12 news: “Sometimes I just want to make sure that the service was great, the food was great, and even the atmosphere and everything I want to try before I was forced to put 20 %, as you know, as a advice.”
Although he does not oppose overcoming as a culture, Woody only wants to be the person who controls when he determines how much he wants.
Sasha Aronberg also echoed Brandon's frustration, as she exceeded the restaurants to not reveal the fees in the foreground.
She explained, given that the service fees are based on the quality of the service, as she prefers choosing the percentage based on the service you receive, rather than paying an automatic fee.
If HB 535 is passed, Florida restaurants will have to reveal any submitted hidden fees as well as their lists and receipts.
In this way, Diners will be able to know exactly to where their money is going.
For groups of seven or more guests, dinner will be provided with the ability to cancel the subscription to the service fees if they feel that it does not reach an equal foot.
There was a great violent reaction from the hospitality industry in this decision, as the Florida Restaurant and Housing Association says that this step will harm restaurants that are already struggling with high costs.
The Vice President of Government Relations and General Adviser to FRLA Samantha Padgett have argued that service fees are necessary to keep restaurants on his feet, especially during difficult economic periods.
What is “guilt”?
Recently, Tipping has become optional for services such as grocery stores, rideshare request, or even getting coffee to go.
Tim Self, an assistant professor of hospitality at the University of Austin Bay State in Clarkeville, Tennessee, CNBC that many people come out of “guilt”.
Customers are required to direct the most traditional traditional service confrontations [and] Also applications-based services, Ride-Share and delivery applications.
“This gives a conception that the shift everywhere, which seems the case.”
The self says that the Americans have become more familiar with the demands of switching on the payment screens, saying, “The type of guilt from washing above you.”
The average of the remaining advice of the full -service restaurant in 2023 was 19.4 %, a decrease from 19.5 % in 2019, according to the restaurant Trends report.
The transformation habits also vary between different generations, according to the research conducted by BluePrint.
The millennial generation is the most generous while those of the silent generation are less likely to leave a great advice.
She explained that these fees can help cover general costs such as credit cards processing fees in addition to providing benefits for workers in home roles who usually receive advice.
However, Padgett admitted that Deners should give more transparency about where their money is going.
Nevertheless, she does not think that getting rid of service fees will be the best choice as much as possible, as she says, increases costs or reduces employee wages.
In all parts of America, the culture of pensions sparked a conversation, as an opinion poll found that 90 percent felt the move had become “out of control.”
In this same poll, 83 percent of the accusations of automatic transformation must be fully banned, as about half of the Americans admit that they are often led by social pressure, instead of the quality of service.
HB 535 still has many steps that must be passed before it became a law, after it has cleared the first committee station in Florida.
If it is passed on to the House of Representatives and the Senate, and it is signed by the ruler, the law will be in effect as of July 1.
The tricks used by restaurants to make you spend more money
A behavior expert revealed that the restaurants are nine tricks to influence you to give up your money from the moment you enter into.
Here are some prominent methods that places use around the world.
Your invitation to the tape to wait:
By bringing you to the bar, restaurants give you something to enjoy it within minutes, raise your mood and distract your attention from waiting.
It also adds high -profit margin elements to your bill before sitting to order.
It gives you a heavy list:
Restaurants choose to give heavy lists because they are linked to a better service.
Since you think you will be in a high -quality institution, you may be more likely to spend more.
Using trap prices:
Restaurants often use anchor pricing to influence the way we explain prices.
By having high -price dishes in the list, next to the slightly cheaper dishes, the warmer dish value looks better, and you may be tempted to go to it.
Remove $ tag from the menu:
By removing a $ mark from the menus, you may deceive some restaurants to spend more.
One study found that the guests, given the list of numbers only that you spend much more than those who received a list of prices showing a dollar or those whose legs were written in words.
This is because cash symbols are strong visual players that remind us that we are about to lose something we appreciate, which pushes an instinct to less spending.
