You often see the same thing in the UK (a 12.5% "discretionary service charge" listed in small text that you must ask to have removed from your bill).

In this context, 'discretionary' is the opposite of 'mandatory'. This legislation is about mandatory fees.

I'd consider adding a fee that isn't included in the listed menu price to be predatory, even if you can ask to have it removed.
