111.889 Baht Service-Charge auf Phuket – Abzocke oder gerechtfertigt? 🏝️💸 Ein Leak bringt Hotels ordentlich unter Druck!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... all very hopeful to end the leasehold rip off, but the government also needs to end the #servicecharge scam. I live on a freehold, but the council have not adopted the road or green area, so we have a management agency ripping us off just to arrange the grass being cut.
#servicecharge #servicecharges #leasehold at most recent Prime Minister's Questions, Rt Hon Layla Moran, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon of the Liberal Democrats asked about #regulation.

As companies in the #hospitality industry (pubs) are starting to add a 12% #servicecharge (which isn't optional), is going to stop people visiting #pubs #restaurants.
The money should go to staff but normally goes to managers or #FOH, but #BOH only get £1.64p/w.

"TIPPING POINT!"
#AaronTinney for @dailystar.co.uk
Drinkers are fuming at a new trend where #ServiceCharge tips are automatically added when buying a pint at the bar.

📢 Public Service Alert! 📢
Some restaurants are sneaking in an 11% “service charge” — before suggesting an 18–20% tip.
💸 That’s nearly 30% extra on your bill!
👀 Check your receipt before tipping — don’t pay twice. #ServiceCharge #TippingScam #ConsumerAlert
This version of the sector — where you can charge what you like, often without meeting your own service level agreements — is over. Your time to respond, course-correct, and, dare I suggest, apologise… is now.

Ich wünsche allen viel Spaß auf der #rp25! Es ist seit Jahren die erste #republica ohne mich. Und auch wenn die Preise im Vergleich zu anderen Veranstaltungen moderat sind, wurden sie in den vergangenen Jahren mMn zu stark angehoben. Plus eine #ServiceCharge. Das ist zu viel für mich.
Do CEOs of Housing Associations receive pay increases because they've made your home safe, or because they are making money for investors?

#Labour manifesto pretty much binned. I would need to check the tory manifesto because I am pretty sure they are on target there!Labour interested on numbers, who cares if the building is safe, if the owners then pay a scandal of #servicecharge to maintain the building on top of the mortgage!

£8000 per annum = £666 a month, unbelievable. Not only our country facing a housing crisis, we also face a service charge crisis. The squeeze of the apartment holders is the squeeze of middle class and our government has no answer to it. #servicecharge
Just thinking, next time I go to a #restaurant in the US, and they add a compulsory #servicecharge I wasn’t expecting, yet still expect me to add a tip on top of it, can I claim that it’s a #tariff, and Trump has said I can add a reciprocal tariff on the restaurant? #lorddampnut #trump
