A New York traveler at the JFK Airport Shake Shack recently discovered a mysterious 48-cent charge on her receipt, highlighting the complex world of airport pricing, BroBible reports. TikTok user Zoey, who goes by the handle @sunshineflowers970, shared her experience in a video that has already gained over 15,000 views. She pointed out that she paid $11 for a chicken sandwich and $5 for fries, but the receipt included a specific line item labeled EMP BEN for 48 cents.
Zoey expressed her annoyance regarding the additional charge, stating, “Shake Shack not only charges $11 for a chicken sandwich and $5 for fries, but now wants us to pay 48 cents for employee benefits.” She also noted that she was prompted to tip for the service of having an employee hand her the bag, which contributed to an $18 total bill for a meal that did not even include a drink. She concluded her video by saying, “I just think it’s getting really out of hand.”
