Awwww yeaaah. Welcome friend, stay a while

This is fair, however, not ubiquitous and all their servers are expected to place nice with others.

Thank god email is federated, and not locked down to a particular company

It’s very common, but in Australia at least, not ubiquitous.

And obviously businesses mostly do not

the freest nation to ever exist

No one actually believes this, right?

How did the sub total become $53.96?

Breadsticks and cinnamon sticks we $27.96??

Otherwise, did they do hidden fees in the subtotal, on top of the already hidden fees?

Y’all need some better laws in the states.

There is (off the top of my head) only three types of extra charges in Australia for consumers:

1. transaction fees (provided the lowest you can possibly pay, even with transaction fees, is advertised. i.e. if you accept card only the minimum fee is included in your advertised price)
2. delivery fees (but strictly speaking you ought to advertise “+delivery fees” in your listed price, and only if it’s variable. And finally,
3. surcharges based on time. But again, you need to advertise this prominently ahead of payment.

If I were really splitting hairs some restaurants and cafes that do weekend surcharges reeeeally ought to put it on the front cover of their menus, not just at the till.

Anyway, what you have in comparison is maddening.

Taxes? Yeah, that should be in the prices. “Fees”?? Yeah, that’s part of the price, bud.

Absolute yikes.
