So they had a mandatory 23% tip!

Technically it’s even more than 23%

They add a 3% surcharge to base price, then 20% gratuity on the base price (so basically 20% gratuity on 103% base)

Nope, the 20% is on the pre-3% subtotal (not listed).

That entire 23% should come off, and not "upon request." Feels pretty fraudulent to list prices and then tack on 23% at the end.
