The People’s Republic of San Francisco has its own local version of OCommieCare and some restaurants just raised their menu prices but at least a few said, we aren’t going to reprint our menus (nor hide the new city tax from our customers), so they just apply an 8% (I think it is) surcharge (they post a notice to let customers know about the charge and reason for it).

“I think it is wrong for businesses to gouge the customers”...said the politician who raised meal taxes to 12%.
