It's an extra fee, sure, but the salient quality is that it's an optional fee, which a price increase is not.

I'm not condoning it, just clarifying what strikes me as the central point.

OP states that it was a non-optional fee, a hidden surcharge.

OP discussed an apparently mandatory "cost of living fee" and tipping, which is optional. The overall discussion based on TFA is about tipping.
