You think that it's a good idea to refuse to pay a fee which is clearly printed because you just don't feel like it's something you're willing to pay?

In what other situations would you take this approach?
"Yes, I can see the menu clearly spells out a 10% service fee, but I don't feel like I should pay so I am refusing to pay the full amount on the bill"
OP complained about the surcharge. If OP wants to take the cab they have two options, pay the fee or not. Or OP can decide to walk off the property and hail a taxi.

I gave no indication as to what they should do nor what I would do.
