Most places in the US don’t even include all taxes in the prices they display so you will have to do some calculation anyway. It’s weird coming from Europe but you kind of get used to it, at least I hope.
- yurishimo 4y agoYou definitely get used to it. Having lived in both places, it's not really a big deal. For me, living in Texas, I would assume the final price is 10% more than the sticker price calculation. When I was buying groceries, this generally meant I was always "under" my estimate because most food isn't taxable in Texas. But I was never surprised by the final total at the register. At restaurants I assumed 20-25% depending on what the numbers were. Now that I live in Europe, I don't even notice. They tell me the total, I pay. End of story.
