"I was concerned to see Morgan’s Pier listed among Philly-area hotspots tied to FCM Hospitality that were adding automatic “wellness”/“employee benefit” fees of about 3–5% to patrons’ bills—fees justified as funding staff benefits like mental health services and SEPTA passes—though public backlash prompted FCM Hospitality to end the fee altogether; I think restaurants must be transparent and give diners the choice to opt in rather than slipping on extra charges." - Ernest Owens
