Just experienced my first “fair wage” tax in the lakes region. Stopped at Walter’s Basin” for lunch and was charged a 1.75% tax on my bill. Any other restaurants in the area doing this?

Thank you for sharing. I wasn't looking for it, so I probably wouldn't have caught it. I'll be on the lookout now.

The restaurants are desperate. They've increased prices to the limits, so they are looking for other ways to make up the difference. We all know the reason, labor shortage, not inflation!
