The fee is to offset credit card fees Business pay to use the card and is deducted from the money paid.
Because you'll pay it? Businesses are in the business of making money and will try things to see if people just go along with it or complain. Have you noticed that the airlines report a billion dollars a quarter off of the same type of fees? Who doesn't travel with luggage?
Honestly, I don't know & don't care. It doesn't bother me. To me, it's worth it. I never have a bad meal or bad service. Sorry.
