In San Francisco restaurants, I’ve seen this tactic applied liberally. Maybe AirBnb and DoorDash are rubbing off on them:)

A common one sees the restaurant charge you separately for the employee health benefits, cynically marketing it to consumers as “healthy SF” and “SF health mandate”.

What’s sort of fun is that like cryptocurrencies, you can always materialize new ones out of thin air. One popular establishment demands that you pay a separate “carbon offset fee”.
