It just tells me that people are content with additional mental pressure because of sentimentality.
I understand that Americans are used to it. But it is still absurd and in absolute discord in regards to America attitude towards business.
- RogerL 13y agoNo, he is saying that when I look at the menu of a restaurant, before walking in, I look at the prices and make a decision on whether it is in my price range or not. If I don't notice that the tax is included on this menu (but not the dozens of others I have looked at over the past years), I will think, say, a sandwich at $10 is a bit expensive because I didn't realize tax was included in the price (tax is almost never included in American retail prices).
- JanezStupar 13y agoOk taxes are different between places. But if you wanted to sort it out, you could have - like we have. We just abstract accounting away from the point of sale. Thus all the prices could be advertised with tax. But I was asking about tips in GP. I think we all know it is actually preying on the dumb and those weak willed people(look a 12$ lunch! Which turns out to be in fact a 15-20$ lunch in reality).
