there's a shitty restaurant near me that does this.
they call it the 'honest to goodness fee' and state the fee is to ensure they can bring us the lowest possible prices, by charging 3% on the whole bill... when I saw it on the menu after sitting down, I left.
I don't participate in bait/switch pricing since it's illegal
That's insane to me. It's literally just a sales tactic so they can look cheaper on their menu but you still pay the increased prices. I would have left also.
It’s not a “sales tactic” it’s just fraud.
It can be both.
Kind of funny they try to spin it as good for customers
