A 3% “employee benefits and retention surcharge” is now popping up on receipts at JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports, and it’s catching a lot of travelers off guard. The fee, meant to cover recent minimum wage hikes for airport workers, isn’t shown until after you pay—and it’s not a tip for staff. People are frustrated by the lack of upfront disclosure, with some even cutting back on tips in protest. How do you feel about these hidden surcharges? Should businesses be required to clearly post all extra fees before you order? #News #NYCAirports #TravelTips
