Yeah, optional — click on the photo to view the full image on Twitter, you’ll see it described at the bottom. Frankly if it’s in the total it doesn’t feel optional to me — if you don’t want to pay it, do you just give a smaller tip? That seems wrong too — but that’s how it’s presented at this and other Chicago…

Any mandatory fee that is not bundled into the normally understood price of an item or service is deceptive and should be prohibited (see hotel resort fees).

If you were in San Francisco the fee is the law. It’s up to restaurants whether to just pay it or add it as a visible surcharge.

I think it’s more that laws like Healthy San Francisco overcame some industry resistance by allowing restaurants to itemize the charge on the bill rather than simply raising prices to cover the required health coverage.

Edit: Turns out it’s not a law in Chicago but an optional charge being added by an increasing…

Not entirely clear at that angle but looked like the ball had some real spin on it and yanked away from Grisham.

On that first goal, it seems really risky for a defender to stop and let a man run past you in the hope that you’ll catch them offsides.  Didn’t work out well for him. 

Releasing damning evidence while saying it’s exculpatory will henceforth be known as “Trumping”.

Geraldo is really saying that Trump’s effectiveness has been limited by snitches and rats and backstabbers?

I’ve seen this story on a couple outlets and I still don’t quite get it -- did new information regarding impeachment etc reveal something about the Mueller Report, or did someone only just now realize that there was a possible contradiction within the report between something visible and something redacted? 

Why does this guy have the voice of a 16-year-old boy? 

I don’t get how this scam is supposed to work.  If they have a personal reader they have to have a credit account, presumably with some shady middle man, but one who the credit company can go after.  If the guy charges, say, double, the mark might miss it on their statement.  $700 they’ll totally notice.  The mark…

In his defense, they were craft brews. 

I wonder how long it took the headline writer to find the euro symbol. 

By the way, my initial response was a little cheeky, thanks for responding like a normal human :) 

Dribbling for 18 seconds, throwing your hands in the air, getting a foul call. That’s horrible basketball (to watch, and probably to play).

The sportscasters said the Bengals had scored in 40 straight goal-to-go situations going back to 2017 before tonight’s end zone pick.   Is that a lot?  That sounds like a lot. 

Remember that Bradshaw was famously a dumbass. A likable guy and great QB, but not the sharpest tool out there.

And Dirk’s raised knee created a little more space, while Harden’s.. is over there on the other side just hanging out. This is a weird shot choice for a lefty.

You might be right.  The season’s still three weeks away and already I’m slowing down Harden vids to see if he’s traveling. #fml

In the NBA world, where you can’t move your pivot foot before driving.
