There are obviously more important things, but when visiting one of the most annoying parts of the US is it is impossible to know what something actually costs. With taxes and fees and gratuities (optional or automatic) it feels like I just have no idea what the relationship between the sticker and the actual cost is.

- j1elo 3y agoI guess a nice counter would be sticking with cash and saying "I am buying this because the sticker says $19.99 and I got a $20 bill in my pocket, so I'm going to assume I can buy it, right?" I mean, that's silly I know. But in more seriousness, I feel all that BS of extra hidden prices gets worse when everything becomes just a slightly-higher number that the clerk types on a pad when you're paying with card.
- kelipso 3y agoWell the tax shit definitely won't work because they give you a receipt but the tip shit will work. Pretty much you need a law that says sticker price is actual price, fuck all the excuses they make about whatever local bullshit.
