“Ever see hotel bills? They disclose the taxes so why shouldn’t a restaurant?”
One knows that taxes will be included when one checks into a hotel, at the least the ones I go to.
Would you agree that if a hotel decides when you check out, without telling you in advance, that it will charge an extra $10 a night for the cleaning charge of the swimming pool, would make you somewhat peeved?
“One knows that taxes will be included when one checks into a hotel, at the least the ones I go to.”
I am in a hotel many nights of each week and hotels do not include the taxes in the price they advertise. At booking they quote the complete price for the hotel and the municipal/state taxes.

I understand your analogy. However, the comparison is off. Your suggestion is that the items built into the the actual cost of the room you booked are added at your departure. Perhaps if you viewed the Obamacare add on as part of the taxes the restaurant owner adds just like sales tax.
In fact, what did John Roberts and pips call Obamacare? A penalty or a tax? The fee is a tax therefore the restaurant is showing you where your money is going. Without you thinking their food cost have risen unnecessarily.
