Internet divided after restaurant charges customers for live musical entertainment Instagram: katchkitchencocktailsFrequent diners have debated whether or not to charge service fees for live entertainment after one customer shared that they were charged extra to listen to music at a restaurant. Katch, a popular restaurant in Tucker, Georgia, just a short distance from Atlanta, was recently put on blast for adding a service fee for live musical entertainment. Even if customers only dined at the location solely for their food rather than music, they still had to pay the mandatory fee at the end of their meal. Those who have heard about the viral story have since reacted with different opinions, as some think it was okay to do and others not so much. Viewers not surprised restaurant was located in Atlanta Even after a hefty tab that totaled over $200, two Katch customers were charged $10 each for the live entertainment at the restaurant. It\u2019s unknown if the pair knew they would be charged before their dinner service began. However, when they posted their receipt online, viewers quickly debated whether it was okay for the venue to charge them. Some raised the question of whether the restaurant made customers aware of the extra fee before they sat down to enjoy their meal. \u201cAs long as it\u2019s stated prior to entry I don\u2019t see the problem. Artists deserve to be paid,\u201d one person wrote. Another agreed, \u201cThe entertainment fee is listed on the reservation link to the restaurant. There is no issue if it\u2019s disclosed upfront.\u201d However, many others thought it was absurd to add a fee for music that was never even anticipated, \u201cWas \u2018live band\u2019 on the menu?? I think not, turn that sh*t off,\u201d quipped one. Another viewer added, \u201cInsane! If you can\u2019t afford to pay them out of pocket, don\u2019t book them! Smh.\u201d Many were also not surprised that the restaurant was located in Atlanta, as it\u2019s known that the area is more expensive than most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
