Not anymore. You all thought it was a scam but I could tell it wasn't so now I have all that money. Suckers!!!

Didn't those two play yesterday (the 29th)? Today looks like Germany vs. Algeria.

Had some Fat Elvis Waffles for lunch on Saturday.
"peanut butter mousse, bacon, caramelized banana, maple syrup"
They were elephanting amazing.
I inhaled them here: Sugar Factory [^]
Note, however, that they add a "cfn" charge to the bill which the waiter told us was a local tax and quite legal.
Moron: has he never heard of smart phones and the internet? I paid the bill and deducted the charge from a very low tip.

According to this, the tip was already part of your bill[^](search for CFN) , unless you tipped twice.

That is for groups of 6 or more. There was no gratuity: only that elephanting cfn charge and state tax (which is charged on top of the cfn 'fee').
I told the waiter that I would be deducting the extortion fee from his tip. He weren't happy.

Clarification:
It's CNF and stands for “Concession & Franchise Fee”. Worse, it's added BEFORE sales tax is calculated. It would be like going to any restauarant, getting your bill and having line items for "Electricity", "Property Tax", "City Franchise Fees" added on. Come to think of it, it's like flying now.

Is that disclosed anywhere before you order?
I've also seen some localities (not the city or county... but the planning agency) adding tax to restaurant and retail bills...

No, which makes it extortion in my book.

Vegas is all about hiding fees. Last time through we book the hotel online. On checkout we were told the room had another $25 a day fee not included in the price advertised. Scumbags. And the last time I book anything through Hotels.com.

All vacation hotels seem to add a "resort" fee. It is scumbaggery.
