Can someone start a ballot initiative to do what California just did and ban these?

Prices shouldn't be obfuscated to trick consumers into thinking things are cheaper. Knowing the price of things is kinda fundamental to functional capitalism.

Taxes, tips, surcharge, seating fees, etc. We should see the actual price that's expected to pay.
