    Can we also target restaurants that list a price and then add on bogus fees for no reason?

    Looking at you, South End Buttery Annex in Boston, MA. 4% “administrative fee” on all purchases that is advertised NOWHERE.

      I think that should be allowed, but then just have like an outright charge on things like water and roads and education. I mean it’s already kind of like that for rich people, but let poor and middle class ‘opt out’ of government provided stuff and just take stuff a la carte…I mean it would probably have to be more expensive for each thing, but overall let people decide what to chip in towards
