I see no difference in what Gators is doing compared to other industries: airlines: fuel surcharge, telephone companies: 911 and "free phone" surcharges, and utilities (taxes) - because these imposed healthcare costs ARE taxes. I like honesty and Gators has apparently decided to operate honestly. On the other hand, had they simply raised prices, I wouldn't fault them for that either - when the COST of business rises there are only three options: 1) Cut Costs; 2) Raise Prices or 3) Close the doors and go out of business. I'll be back at Gators for the great food - AND their honesty!
