A swanky hotpot in Downtown Los Angeles has added a 'security charge' to their diners' bills on top of tipping. Perch LA will add a 4.5% fee on every bill for additional security measures, according to its website. 'I mean, Perch is like on the 10th floor. So, I think they're kind of taking advantage,' diner Johnny DeLaCruz said. Perch sits around Hill Street and Fifth Street near Pershing Square where there is a Metro Stop.
'I mean, it was a convenience store, I'd understand, but you gotta go up the stairs,' DeLaCruz said. USC business professor Shon Hiatt said the extra fees are a way businesses are trying to address increased labor costs and input costs. 'I'm not surprised just because of the massive inflation we're feeling,' Hiatt said. Hiatt added that restaurants have seen a nationwide 7% decline in diners in the past six months.
