Sebastian Maniscalco slammed two fees he encountered while eating at a restaurant last week. The stand-up comedian took to social media saying a restaurant he dined at should get rid of the "COVID fee" he said it charged him. The fee was $3, according to Maniscalco. "I went to a restaurant last night, and I got the bill and they charged me a COVID fee," he said. "I asked the guy. I go, ‘What’s the COVID fee?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, well, we gotta wipe down the menus.
Some dining establishments around the country started implementing dedicated COVID-related fees during the pandemic to help recoup additional expenses they incurred because of the virus. Some examples of things that restaurants used to COVID surcharges for included personal protective equipment and social distancing measures on top of sanitization, per the Washington Post. But as the pandemic has wound down, some restaurants have kept COVID-related fees in place.
