But decaf is like...the same price or more because of additional manufacturing costs to remove the caffeine content from the beans.

Can regular coffee drinkers notice the difference taste-wise? I’m the opposite of a coffee connoisseur and I drink any kind of brewed and instant coffee (including decaf) and can’t tell the difference.
Taste-wise? Probably not. But I'd know by 11am because the caffeine withdrawal would start and I'd get headaches.
At a cheap diner? You'd have a hard time telling cuz even when you use regular coffee, the caffeine content is pretty low.
Side by side I could pick out bad decaf, but I'd struggle to notice good decaf.
On its own I'd just assume I was given a bad to average cup of coffee, which is what I would expect anywhere but home.
I'm a pretty avid coffee enjoyer, and I can't tell the difference. The stuff that you can buy chemically decaffeinated are made by brands that generally sell lower quality coffee beans in the first place
Good roasters also usually have a decaf roast on the go. You can taste the difference, but if you're just getting some random restaurant's drip coffee, you'd probably just assume a bunch of things are off about it anyway, so "it's secretly decaf" wouldn't necessarily rank very high.

Side by side, trying one after the other. I can tell they taste different. But walking into a place blind, and only getting one. I think it might be hard to tell.
Side by side you'll notice the little kick depending on strength. But you'd likely be full placebo none the wiser.

ah the best financial strategy... lying!
My dad ran a similar business, he was an arborist. When requested to trim or fell a tree on private property, he would inform the owner that the species was protected by state law, and they would need to file an application for exemption. He helped them file it, and they paid him directly to fast track it, plus his quotation and consult fee. Unfortunately, so many of these applications were rejected, and dad could do nothing further to help the home owner, his hands were tied.
There was no such protected species, dude didnt even own a chainsaw.
