An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike.

    it doesn’t cost extra

    They still have to tip you 20% otherwise you wouldn’t be able to afford rent

        And since people can’t survive on a minimum wage, not even close, I have no idea what point you are trying to make. Instead of paying the stuff their salary, restaurants offload most of this cost to customers directly, which creates whole lot of problems for everyone involved. And that’s just a fact.
        They can do it because the labour laws in US are abysmal, and low minimum wage is just a tip of the iceberg. But the thing is, restaurant owners don’t have to treat their stuff like trash, they chose to do it because nobody is stopping them. That part of the blame is squarely on them.
