Sweet Talk with Necco Sweethearts

I've never had these but I can imagine them tasting chalky.

Restaurants Adding Sneaky Service Charges

This may be irrelevant considering this is SE:NY, but in the Philippines, restaurants have free reign to tack on whatever they want to the bill. In addition to the mandatory 12% value-added tax, they usually add on 10% service charge. On top of THAT, some even have an additional 12% local tax. There is no standard/fixed charge from all places.

I still leave a tip though, because we're not even sure that the service charge goes to the poor waiters.
