There is no law that requires me to pay this surcharge.

Of course there isn't, so you think you're not paying it. There is a law that makes the restaurant pay the surcharge. Any money a restaurant has comes from you - the paying customer.

So if they don't add a surcharge, but raise the prices instead to cover the costs, you'll still pay more, but then you'll be happy? Because why?

We’ll see rather this is something that should be done or not when the left sends out goonsquads to make them stop showing it on the receipt.
