Think of a bill with two lines on it. The top line is the thing itself — the food, the ticket, the flat. The second line is smaller, and it is there because somebody did work around that thing: carried the plates, took the booking, swept the . A service charge can be thought of as that second line, pulled out and named. It never makes what you bought any better; it pays for the hands that handled it.
可以想成一張帳單上有兩行字。上面那一行是東西本身：那份餐點、那張票、那間房子。下面那一行比較小，會出現是因為有人在旁邊做了事——替你端菜、替你訂位、替你掃樓梯。service charge 可以想成被單獨拉出來、寫上名字的第二行。它不會讓你買到的東西變好一點，它付的是「有人動手處理」這件事。所以每次看到這個字，就代表你付的錢比標價多，而多的那一塊買的是人力，不是東西。
