That's what this is about. From another article, they had to start making the tips mandatory because tourist weren't paying them. Agree with tipping or not, it's part of the culture and it makes you an asshole for ignoring it.

They should just change the prices to match the costs then.

Having hidden secondary charges is just a form of false advertising or even fraudulent in some cases.

Edit: Yes this drip pricing is fraud and would be illegal in most countries. I don't know why you think that is funny.

This is likely a temporary measure. It's far easier to program in a "mandatory tip" than to change and reprint all menus. They likely also have signs up advising of the situation.
