据外媒报道,在美国餐馆吃饭一般需付小费,这是餐饮界习惯做法。然而纽约餐饮达人迈耶(Danny Meyer)却想改变这个习惯。他表示,从今年11月起,他公司旗下的餐馆将开始取消小费。
迈耶表示,新政策实行之后,他的餐馆将禁止顾客用信用卡支付小费,并将强烈建议顾客不要留下现金做小费。与此同时,其餐馆的菜品价格将大幅上涨,涨幅可能会达到35%。他说,这样的价格才能反映出美食的真正成本。

Big news out of Manhattan: Dining out is about to get turned on its head. unio Square Hospitality Group, the force behind some of New York's most important restaurants, will announce today that starting in November, it will roll out an across-the-board elimination of tips at every one of its thirteen full-service venues, hand in hand with an across-the-board increase in prices. It's a radical move - while many individual high-end restaurants have eliminated tipping, this is surely the first time zero-gratuity will be the universal policy for a major American restaurant group - casual restaurants included. Never before have so many diners been faced with such a sea change in how they pay for a full-service meal, and what they are expected to understand a fair price (and a fair wage) to be.
