I agree it should be noted on the menu that all prices will be subject to a tax for healthcare, but I disagree with the writer as stating that this is a regular cost of business. This is an extra tax that SF specifically has placed on businesses, and it's not a regular cost of business that the business owners have any control over. I approve of the owners reminding their customers of what effect their votes have on their bills.

I can understand some mandatory "gratuity" for large parties (so servers don't get screwed), but there needs to be room to allow for not getting full tip if service sucks. Perhaps mandatory "tips" should be capped at something like 5 or 10%, and then customers could add more to make it back up to 15 or 20% if the service deserves it... But this 18% mandatory is BS.

Why do people live near volcanoes? Just look at that picture! Awesome!

Oh yeah, that goofy helmet & ear pulling's MUCH better than just having a little iPhone sized device or bluetooth headset that uses a voice to say "go left"...

Anything that provides me with a tasty bacon cheeseburger is good by me!

Thought I'd heard that W.C. Fields was originally supposed to play the cowardly lion...

Love these! Would love to see one for A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Shining. Maybe Hell Raiser...

Would love an invite:

Thanks much

I'm very sorry for your loss. One of our schipperke's passed away back in October, so I know how painful the loss can be.

Take care
