[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) In America, the restaurant would have to post this on the menu. Thus we have fine-print on our menus. God bless the USA. It's nice to hear the EU doesn't let that crap slide. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) [This comment has been deleted by an automated system] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago Scummy businesses sure exist but you would never see this in Amsterdam or Paris. I'm pretty sure there are laws that whatever price is shown is the final price. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago You're probably right. But judging from other comments in sounded like a small note on the front cover of a menu saying 'there will be a flat rate surcharge' would not be adequate. Obviously, this is a horrible way for me to collect legal advice, but would a fine-print note on a menu fly? (interpret 'fly' however, I'm clearly naïve here.) permalink fedilink source parent
