How/why is a surcharge which is clearly identified on the bill, sneaky or underhanded? Quite frankly, restaurants that add this surcharge are doing God’s Work, pointing out to their customers, that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Healthcare isn’t free and someone has to pay for it.

because a surcharge is rarely ever explained upfront.

It is only AFTER one orders a meal that does one realize the true cost of it as it is tacked on at the end.

Big diff in say sales taxes when EVERYONE knows upfront that it will be added on.

Just raising prices on the meal would be the proper thing to do.

But free government stuff is FREE. That's the point of free government stuff. The government pays for it so we don't have to.

I'm going to go get me a new Obamaphone now. My old Obamaphone is an iPhone 5 and I want a free iPhone 6.

Not to mention that bozoCare was shoved down their throats.
