    20%(or any % for that matter) not listed on the menu(even if alongside the price sans tax) is crazy

    And another thing ‘sales tax’ why not list the actual price you’ll pay on the item? is it a scam for people who are like ‘I can afford this’ without doing the calculation, then when they get to the register and realise its more than they can afford they get shamed into wasting their money?

      As a yank, I suspect it’s partly what you’re saying and partly just another aspect of the USAmerican “taxation = theft” psyop/brainworm. Taxation is made intentionally confusing and inconvenient here in order to manufacture consent for the gutting of our paltry social services.
