We don’t usually look at the bottom of the check unless it has the gratuity suggestions on it. Beware of this on your checks.

Common practice for businesses all over America. Credit card company tacks on the 3.+% fee to transactions. Rather than absorb it, businesses tack on the transaction fee. Other businesses don't but simply charge you that much more for your food so that YOU and not them pay for YOUR credit card fee!
