Then illegal. Simple. And I like it tbh
Presumably they can't have a menu either? The menu might induce you to buy something.
You can always opt-in. Advertising is specifically information that is not requested.

If I don’t ask for a menu don’t give me a menu.
Think for a moment about what kind of horrible totalitarian system you'd need to be living in for it to be able to jail a waiter just for making a product recommendation. Given the current US administration, how could anyone in their right mind think it's a good idea to give the government that kind of power?
Who said the punishment would be imprisonment? Fine the waiter $5 for every violation. Such a small fine will be orders of magnitude higher than what advertisers pay.

So we exempt waiters. No one seriously thinks waiters are what the article is about.
