As a muted protest to municipal, county or state mandates requiring employers to pay for employees' health insurance, some businesses -- restaurants especially -- have taken to exposing this cost to the customer in the form of an added fee.

I feel like what's wrong with it isn't the exposure of the price breakdown to customers, but the lack of exposure of the final price until the last moment.

So they mark how much employee insurance is costing them, do they also breakdown their profit? Since business like restaurants often price based on a margin doesn't inflation sometimes increase profits?

I also don't understand protesting inflation a global phenomenon (in varying amounts) that is difficult to solve.
