You’re right that I made it sound like it was the restaraunt itself admitting the trickery, which it wasn’t. My mistake. And I certainly am not suggesting that the government should regulate the placement of prices on menus.

Even something as straightforward as a menu is seen not simply as an opportunity to let patrons know what is available and at what price, but to push their buttons.
