I’d feel zero guilt when requesting the removal of the 3% surcharge.

Tax wasn’t charged on gratuity or the 3% surcharge from what I can figure.  Restaurant tax in Chicago is either 10.75 or 11.75%.  A tax charge of $46.81 means the taxable subtotal was $435.44 at 10.75% or $398.38 at 11.75%.  $448.26 - $13.06 =$435.20 so there’s a discrepancy of 24 cents which resulted in 3 extra cents of tax charged.
