Lots of places add a 10-15% surcharge on holidays here (Australia). As long as they are up-front about it, it’s not that hard to do the math in your head…
Because hiding prices in obscure surcharges is deliberately misleading customers. Given that they are surely having a special menu for the occasion they can easily print the true prices instead of fake prices. I would avoid shady places doing that. If they fool customers when it comes to paying who knows how the fool them in the kitchen.
