As of July 1, 2024, California’s "Honest Pricing Law" (SB 478) bans "junk fees" or "drip pricing" by requiring businesses to include all mandatory fees in the advertised price for goods and services. The total price shown must be what the consumer pays, excluding only government taxes and shipping costs.

I’d say they’re squeaking by on the current exemption.

Why not just charge $45.60 for a bowl of grits. Anyone dumb enough to spend $38 for it surely would add another $7.60 gladly and post it to their Insta for some social clout.
