I don't know how prevalent my behavior is, but I eat out less since these random fees appeared.
If the price were simply 15% higher, I think would not mind (again I am guessing, who knows really - needs some sort of experiment).
I deeply dislike being quoted one price on the menu, but by the time I check out, it is notably higher. Once I add both the tax and the "fees," it is like paying for another complete entree. That unpleasant memory stays with me, even until the next time I consider eating out.
But then, I am not in the restaurant business, and I have lots of sympathy for those that make a living in such a razor-thin profit environment.
Do addon fees hurt more the businesses than help? I can't tell but I can provide my own behavior as an example.
