Restaurants in southern Missouri institute surcharges
Could it happen here?
In West Plains, at least three restaurants are adding a five percent COVID-19 surcharge.
Owners at the eateries say prices, especially on steak and shrimp, have gone up with prices fluctuating frequently.
They say it’s easier to add a fee than to change prices on menus.
So far, there have been no reports of similar surcharges in local Four State area restaurants.
