Greedy restaurant slammed by internet over hidden living wage fee added to bill
A disgruntled patron posted a receipt from a recent trip to a restaurant that charged its guests a mandatory 'living wage fee' on Instagram threads — and the internet was incensed. 4 Despite the clarification at the bottom of the receipt, the original user captioned their post: 'WTF is a living wage fee?' @ / Instagram Tipping culture has long been a point of contention for Americans, and as prices continue to rise, the practice has become an even more controversial topic. But now it seems that businesses are taking things too far by tacking on extra fees such as this one — and people aren't happy about it. 4 'It's your job,' respond many in this camp when it comes to tip-demanding employees. FornStudio – 'Price increase without having to update the menu,' claimed one reply on the post. '[This] means I'm never eating at that restaurant again,' said another. Meanwhile, another commenter proposed an entirely separate issue of debate: the pooling of tips. 'If I wanna tip a person, I wanna tip that individual, not the entire team. This is unfair to the server and to me.' However, a few lonely restaurant-goers cut the restaurant, which remained unnamed in the post — and the growing industry trend — some slack, and fired back at fellow commenters. 'Y'all have been asking for no tipping, this is what it looks like. It could reflect in drink/food prices, but then you all would say the place was too expensive. No one is trying to trick you — if they were transparent about the service fee, STFU,' one empassioned viewer responded. 4 'Consumers pay wages via prices,' one user commented, acknowledging the lack of consequence for this specific charge as opposed to increased menu prices. MargJohnsonVA – 'Just include [the fee] in the cost of the food and drinks, like the rest of the world is doing, and pay the workers properly. Sincerely, a guy from Europe,' one aggrieved commenter suggested under the post. This response was the sole sentiment that united incensed restaurant patrons on both sides of the debate. 'Mind your European business,' advised one reply, while another said: 'Hey, stay out of our insanity!' For some small, family-owned restaurants, implementing charges like this living wage fee might allow the business to stay afloat and support their employees — especially amid a cost-of-living crisis. Durham, North Carolina-based Lula & Sadie's is one spot that charges a living wage fee to combat 'rising overhead costs, slim industry profit margins and a minimum wage that won't budge,' per the family-operated restaurant's website. 'The fee is transparently listed on our menus, website and posted around the restaurant.' Though local laws vary greatly in terms of tipping and charging policies in restaurants, New York City Consumer and Worker Protection rules, state that 'restaurants cannot charge a surcharge or other fee in addition to listed food or beverage prices,' but they can 'charge a bona fide service charge, but only if the charge is conspicuously disclosed to consumers before food is ordered.' 4 With general costs rising, both businesses and consumers struggle to meet new standards. Kittiphan – Examples of 'bona fide service charges' include splitting a meal on multiple plates, minimums per person and mandatory gratuity for large dining parties. That being said, 'living wage fees' are often considered service charges, depending on how they're disclosed and absorbed by the business. 'There is no law in New York State that specifically prohibits automatic gratuities. However, it is incumbent upon any restaurant including an automatic gratuity charge to provide—in advance—clear and conspicuous notice that an automatic gratuity charge will be levied and all terms associated with the automatic charge. If consumers are not provided advanced notice, [they] may have a claim under the NYS Deceptive Acts & Practices law, ' New York State's Division of Consumer Protection told News10NBC.

General Mills discontinues 3 cereal flavors. See which ones.
General Mills discontinues 3 cereal flavors. See which ones. Show Caption Hide Caption Breakfast idea: Cereal bar recipe These homemade cereal bars are perfect for back-to-school or as a grab-and-go snack. Problem Solved General Mills is pulling three specialty cereals from shelves, a representative for the company confirmed to USA TODAY. The company is discontinuing: Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch (introduced in early 2013) Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios (introduced in 2017) Honey Nut Cheerios Minis products (announced as a new addition in early 2024) Cereal enthusiast and social media user Kayla Simonsen, also known as the Cereal Queen on Instagram, first broke that the cereal was getting the axe in an Instagram post on June 4. "Of the 3, It baffles me the most that Cheerios would discontinue the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios," Simonsen said in the social media post, adding that people should "grab these while (they) can, because what's on shelves is what's left." Why is General Mills discontinuing the cereals? General Mills did not elaborate on why it discontinued the products, but said in a statement on June 17 that it is introducing new cereals for customers to try, like Cheerios Oat Crunch Chocolate. Frosted Lemon Cheerios will also return for a limited time this summer. 'Much like Frosted Lemon Cheerios, which returned by popular demand, we continue to listen to our fans as we evolve our offerings,' the company said. Discontinued cereal may have done better if it were more widely available, Simonsen says Simonsen said Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios were 'fantastic' in her June 4 Instagram post. She also offered her take on what could've helped the Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch cereal last longer. 'The medley (oat) crunch version of honey nut cheerios were so underrated,' she wrote. 'I feel if they had been more widely available from the start that the sales would have been great. It combined HN cheerios, multigrain based flakes that had graham flour in them, & the best honey clusters of granola w/almonds. It was perfection honestly.' According to General Mills, the company recently released a line of Cheerios Protein cereal, which comes in flavors such as cinnamon, strawberry, and cookies and creme. The line debuted this year.

Mom who launched own cola company donates profits to Palestine
By Robert White A British businesswoman who launched a rival to Coca-Cola from her kitchen has sold nearly two BILLION cans worldwide in just over 18 months. Aykiz Shah, 27, launched Salaam Cola in October 2023 without any capital investment, spending a mere £160 on some sample cans. The mom reached a turnover of €6 million in Europe in 2024 - including £1.6m from the UK alone - selling her 66p cans and bottles for £1. She previously worked in recipe development for a drinks company and used her experience to create the original formula and find a manufacturer in Turkey. Describing how the recipe does not include aspartame, Shah said: "I wouldn't put in something that would damage people's health." The mother-of-three, from Brentford, west London, pitched the concept to distributors across the UK and found four willing to pay up-front to get the first batch made. She used TikTok and Instagram to spread the word about the brand and its charitable mission to help displaced and injured Palestinians. Saleem - a commonly-used greeting in Muslim countries - was soon stocked by grocery stores, fast food suppliers and ethnic minority retailers across the UK. It is now a global brand, selling more than 1.9 billion cans of pop to date in 16 countries across four different continents, with several unique recipes for a variety of drinks. Part of Salaam's appeal is that it donates 10 percent of all proceeds to charitable causes, and in 2024, the company was able to donate £250,000 to charity from UK sales alone. And Aykiz believes it is the charity work that the company embraces, which has been the most crucial element to the company's expansion. She said, "We wanted to create more of an ethical drink for people who are going through poverty or malnutrition to be able to give back and help vulnerable people. "It sent a powerful image to our consumers as we are partnered with 'Muslims in Need' a registered charity. "Every month we calculate the proceeds that need to go to the projects and we transfer them the money. "But it's not just the money, we actively work with the charity too, to do things like open schools for Palestinian children who were displaced to Egypt. "I do think that a lot of people were looking for ethical companies because of the BDS [Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions] movement against Israel and the ICE situation with Coca Cola in the US, with immigrant workers – there's been a lot of problems with the legacy companies. "But we've created a brand which proves we're here for the people, and distributors and consumers seek us out for that. "Giving back is in our DNA as Muslims and my clients who work with us give back an extra 10 percent on top of that, which is really making a difference. "Every month we provide a video on social media to show where the profits are going and for a lot of people they don't feel guilty for buying a can which backs causes that they believe in – it's a no brainer for a nice drink and the charity work we do. "And that's why I think Salaam Cola has become a movement and a household name. "For me personally, it's turned my life upside down - people work years and years to establish things that Salaam has managed to do in such a short space of time." Yet, despite employing a second member of staff in the UK in August 2024, Aykiz still works from home at her kitchen island. She is now overseeing the company, creating other flavours of fizzy pop, each with a twist on the country it supports. Salaam Cola was originally for Palestine, with the diet version – Seriously No Sugar – raising money for Syria. The company has also developed 'Yemonade' to help malnourished children in desperate need of medical assistance and food. Salaam has added 'Lebanorange' as its most recent addition – set to come out over the next few weeks – which has been designed to support Lebanon. Despite principally focusing on the Middle East, Aykiz has been pleasantly surprised that the product has been supported by all kinds of people across many countries, including Coronation Street actor Sean Ward. She said: "I initially thought it would be a predominantly Muslim-backed product, but really everyone's on board. "We have distributors, which are businesses that are run by Muslims, but equally we have lots of non-Muslim supporters who believe in the message too. "When you step back, you see that there's actually a lot of love in the world, despite all the negativity. "We have been able to provide 10,000 Palestinians medical aid - we did that primarily for children in Al-Nasr hospital in Egypt who were victims of severe burns. "In Syria, we sponsor orphans through school, and we are rebuilding a mosque that was bombed. "And we have a community kitchen in Yemen which provides food for families because there is such a problem with malnutrition - I believe it is the highest amount of poverty in the world. She added: "We've even had celebrity backers, such as Sean Ward, who has been a massive supporter of our work, and volunteers regularly to overlook and visit the Salaam charity projects." Despite the success, Aykiz still feels very fortunate and grateful towards the four companies that originally backed her product. She said: "We originally sold the product to four distributors across the UK, in Lancashire, the Midlands, London and Glasgow. "They prepaid for a full container of Saalam and bought the stock to resell. "I was lucky – four buyers was still a relatively low number of backers, and the business all depended on how it went with them, but it's crazy that it took off straight away." As a female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry, Aykiz is proud of having broken stereotypes in the drinks arena, whilst wearing a burqa and a veil. Aykiz said: "I do think the drinks industry is a very cut-throat industry for everyone, but for women it's just a touch harder. "I'm a very conservative Muslim, and I dress very modestly. That's another stereotype that we're breaking. "But people love the product, and I think they like working with me, which is nice because I'm not judged by my appearance. "I want to inspire and empower women to achieve for themselves, no matter the limitations and how they look." The mother of a seven-year-old, a two-year-old and a newborn is grateful for the support from her husband, Mohammad, 36, and tries not to let the stress catch up to her. She said: "I have to remind myself to not let the stress catch up to me, that life's too short for it. "The meetings with Canada and the US can be in the middle of the night – at the start, I was sleeping about two or three hours a day because it went viral straight away. I was living on coffees. "I didn't know what I was doing, every day was a learning curve and I was making it up as I went along." She added: "I don't know how I did it or how it happened – I guess it's God's plan."
