If a restaurant raises food prices by 10% to pay for healthcare, is that an undisclosed fee? No, a restaurant can charge whatever it likes. What’s fraud is if the menu says an orange juice is $3 but then when the bill comes it’s $3.30 because there’s a 10% healthcare fee the restaurant didn’t list on the menu. If the restaurant did list the fee on the menu, it’s a gray area. Depends on how prominently, etc. In any event a dark pattern. If the prices include the 10% increase and there’s a note that says prices were recently increased to cover healthcare, again perfectly ok. Good even.
