Casablanca Airport Cafe Adds Controversial "Covid-19 Aid" Charge to Bills

A restaurateur had the idea of adding a small tax worth 2.76 dirhams to a customer’s bill, without specifying whether it is fixed or variable.

Last June, a Brussels restaurant had decided to charge a "anti-Covid-19 measures" surcharge of 5 euros to its customers, in order to cope with a drop in turnover.
