    I’d be annoyed to see that in my bill too. I expect the price quoted to me to be the price I have to pay. If it says 9.99 for a plate of chicken wings, I expect to pay 9.99 + tax + tip, if it comes back to me as 9.99 + 4% + tax + tip, I’d be annoyed, not for paying the 4% for being mislead about the price of the product I’m buying. Just make the price $10.99 and I wouldn’t even notice it and that’s a 10% increase. If they had just done a 4% price increase across the board then rounded to the nearest .99 it probably wouldn’t have even gotten commented on. But trying to be shifty and hide the price hike behind a hidden fee… I’d never go back there.

      I’d be pissed if tax wasn’t included in the total price… And if I was expexted to tip for that matter.
