      In America, the restaurant would have to post this on the menu. Thus we have fine-print on our menus. God bless the USA.

      It’s nice to hear the EU doesn’t let that crap slide.

          Scummy businesses sure exist but you would never see this in Amsterdam or Paris. I’m pretty sure there are laws that whatever price is shown is the final price.

          You’re probably right. But judging from other comments in sounded like a small note on the front cover of a menu saying ‘there will be a flat rate surcharge’ would not be adequate.

          Obviously, this is a horrible way for me to collect legal advice, but would a fine-print note on a menu fly? (interpret ‘fly’ however, I’m clearly naïve here.)

      Where is this common? I know you often see it in scummy tourist traps, but besides that I’ve not seen something like it.
