a few shops in town added 'extra fee' notices a few months in to the covid outbreak (may 2020?).
"We are having to add a 50c surcharge per beef entree"
"Each burger has a 50c surcharge"
etc.
Later this went to 50c charges for all meats (chicken or beef or whatever).
In the short term, it was to avoid having to reprint all signage/menus/etc when they were unsure how long things would go on. I think in the restaurants in our town, they've just raised prices and don't advertise the 'surcharge' any longer.
