    Because the price on the menu should be what you are obliged to pay.

    If they want to increase prices on holidays, they should print a menu with the correct prices.

      The surcharge is written on the menu… Printing two menus is wasteful and annoying.

      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…

        Prices must indicate what you’re going to pay. These hidden costs are scummy practices and very well regulated in the EU.

        Not sure what you’re defending here buddy, you like paying more?
