“I think the restaurant owner should charge an honest price and knock off the phone-app style fees”

My guy those charges are -not- going to workers.

I do, actually! That’s why we saw these service fees pre 82 passing. There is 0 requirement for these fees to go to anyone but the owner, and they are not required to redistribute them to anyone. There were plenty of article pre 82 of folks tagging these onto bills with no raise in pay for anyone, which is where I think we see the ire come from.

My chief complaint as well is that it’s a hidden fee - just raise the menu item price.
