Restaurants Are Charging Cleaning Fees For Drunks
If you frequently travel to San Francisco, you’re gonna want to read this. Getting a little too drunk at your favorite San Francisco eatery might lead to an unexpected cleaning fee. Recent reports out of the city reveal that several restaurants have taken a firm stance against patrons who become ill on their premises. They’re warning of hefty “cleaning fees” for those who leave a mess behind.
Restaurants Are Targeting the Day-Drinkers
The restaurants are particularly focused on tackling the issue of excessive drinking, often involving day-drinkers who indulge in bottomless mimosa specials. Some individuals, in their quest to make the most of these deals, end up overindulging, resulting in unfortunate consequences.
Post-Pandemic Surge
This problem has gained significant prominence in the post-pandemic world. It appears that the most common culprits are young adults in their early to mid-20s. Many dining establishments are already facing staffing challenges. And dealing with the aftermath of overindulgence is far from appealing for restaurant personnel.
Restaurants Are Taking a Stand
In an effort to deter such incidents, multiple restaurants in San Francisco have posted prominent signs warning patrons of potential cleaning fees. Two of these signs specify a $50 charge. Another sign threatens to automatically add the fee to the bill of anyone who gets sick in public areas.
Should Vegas Follow?
Living in Las Vegas, we’ve all seen our fair share of revelry and celebration. This city knows how to throw a party. The options for a good time seem endless, from the famed Las Vegas clubs to the vibrant restaurant scene, sports venues, and the iconic Las Vegas Strip. Yet, amid all the excitement, there’s a common sight that many of us have witnessed – people having a bit too much to drink.
How Would You Feel If These Charges Came To Your Town?
Should we consider introducing a cleaning charge in our city, just like they’re doing in San Francisco? It’s an interesting thought. It might encourage a sense of responsibility and remind everyone that while we’re here to have fun, we should also be considerate of the places that host us.
