I want the Government to ban restaurants and hotels from automatically adding service charges to bills without prior customer consent. I feel many businesses take advantage of diners by imposing these charges without making it clear that they are optional.

After reading this Reddit thread I had a look to see if there were any petitions to prevent this and found the petition I have linked in this post, doesn’t seem to have a lot of signatures.

Please sign the petition if you agree with it 🙏

    Whilst I agree with it, I’m not signing this. I am not going to be putting in a petition that’s not going anywhere, because none of these do.

    If you want to make a difference, write a letter to your MP. Write a letter to your council. Boycott locations that do this. Write a one star review on your Maps of choice to bring awareness to this.

    Do something. Filling in this petition will do absolutely nothing, and will distract you from actually doing something meaningful.

      I can do all of that and still sign the petition, it only takes 2 minutes to sign.

      And with enough votes it is meaningful!
