I wouldn’t tip when ordering a sandwich at a counter. That’s why I take offense at Mamalehs dishonesty.

Do you tip the cashier at Home Depot? How about the receptionist at your doctors office? Then why the person who makes a sandwich?

Don’t get me wrong - I always tip 20%-25% at a restaurant. I tip my barber 30%. But those people put an extensive effort into giving me great service and I choose to thank them in that way. Forcing tips when one is otherwise underpaying their employees is bogus. What’s worse is they don’t tell you until you see it in your receipt.

Don’t go to Mamalehs. They recently started charging like a 10% additional fee on receipts for “living wage.” Instead of just appropriately, pricing their menu items so that they can pay their employees fairly, they fraudulently keep their prices low up on the menu board, and then tack on the surprise fee on your receipt when you get to the register.

Sure. If someone has no mortgage / owns it outright. But assuming the owner of Sam lagrasaa’s isn’t a fool, they wouldn’t operate a money losing business just because they own a building.

Owning property doesn’t mean that you can afford to live / work there without having a viable income.

Sam lagrasaas has a large corporate catering business.

In what universe is $50-60 for a 40 minute cleaning a decent price. The salary of the hygienist, plus rent, equipment and consumables, the cost of a dentist to supervise, liability insurance…suggest you go to a dental school
