    the service charge goes to the staff

    Does it? Tips are legally protected and must go to staff, but I don’t think the same applies to “service charges”.

      It says on the receipt that they use the service charge to post a higher wage so if that is true then it does (indirectly) go to the staff. Like you say though - there’s no guarantee that it all goes to the staff.

      This would reduce tipping a lot, so if the staff weren’t being paid well to begin with I don’t see how they’d continue working there.

      That’s how I interpreted the contents of the receipt, that’s all I can tell you.
