Reems California 20% worker's resilience charge

Why not just raise prices 20% and stop adding stupid fees?
Because this way it's not considered gratuity, and the owners don't have to actually give all of it to their employees.
Also, they don't say "no tip required, we've already taken a tip from you" They are happy to take a tip in addition to the mandatory fee.
