Also in Australia, but spent a decent amount of time in California and travelling to other parts of the US.
So many payment terminals (bank issued as well as square etc) now have the tipping option turned on, but most people here just seem to ignore them. I can understand why restaurants etc would have the option turned on - it's free money! and some people want to tip - but it's a little bit of extra friction where there used to be none.
With respect to GST, some quotes I see have it broken out as a second line item and 'advertise' the non-inclusive figure, but that seems very rare. Something even better than just including the full price on the sticker is something that came in a few years ago in all the supermarkets, the price is listed per unit in addition to total price. So a block of cheese that costs $5.20 also lists the price per kg or 100g, say $26.00/kg
