Restaurant slammed after charging customers 4 percent health insurance fee
NY Post
An Atlanta restaurant has taken some hits for adding an unfamiliar fee to its customers’ bills.
JenChan’s Pizza and Chinese in Cabbagetown, Georgia, received hate on social media after a customer called out the restaurant’s 4% fee for employees’ health insurance on the bill.
The customer posted a photo of the bill on Reddit last month, which showed an extra $2.02 charge at the bottom.
It received over 2,000 comments and nearly 9,000 reactions, although the Redditor has since deleted the original post.
Criticism trickled in from others, with one Facebook user even commenting on a photo of JenChan’s owners — showing the married couple Jen and Emily Chan, plus their child — with these ominous words: “I’ve never seen a family that needs to be beaten up more, make that health care come in handy.”
The owners responded in a statement posted on Facebook on Dec. 29, 2023, writing that “everything seemed fine” when they served the customer in question at the restaurant.
