The Chestnut Hill Cheesecake Factory location will update their menus to include drink prices, the Boston Herald reports.
For some diners, looking at the bill can be a harrowing experience, especially if the menu doesn't include prices for certain items--such as beverages.

Restaurants will tell you what they have, and you have to ask them what it costs, and of course nobody wants to do that because it’s socially unacceptable.” The Cheesecake Factory's new menus should arrive next month. However, the restaurant chain's menus are not the only enigmatic …
