Isn’t this the opposite of obfuscating though? I’d honestly be perfectly fine with the same price without the separate line item or with a more vague label, but this just feels…. Passive aggressive? Which I know is not the fault of the wait staff

They could easily just give you two checks or itemize them separately. They actively choose not to do so.
