What's the practical difference between a "mandatory service fee" and a price increase?

    I'd rather them just increase the prices I see on the menu instead of unexpected charges at the end. I should be able to calculate what my bill will be based on what I order on the menu.

    Only reason I can think of to have a "mandatory service fee" that might make sense is if the place has live entertainment and you're just a sitting there only ordering the free water.
