But then what is the difference? Literally just “not doing math?”
If burger $9.99 + 20% tip = $11.98, and you’re fine with paying that $11.98, why does it make a difference if the menu says “$11.98” or you do the math yourself? Are you also mad tax (in most states) isn’t included on the sticker price of retail goods, or are you fine doing your own math when it comes to tipping the government?
And does that apply to taxes, which also aren’t included in the menu price? Why am I supposed to take the brunt of this issue as a poor worker and not my boss or government? Fuck me for not wanting to be homeless? Why doesn’t ONE comment in this thread besides mine mention taxes though they follow the exact same logic?
Is it because you want to pinch pennies, and you can choose to not tip but have to pay tax, and deep down you know you’re only fucking over the employee but have to sanitize your conscience so you can save 20% on your bill?

the difference is false advertising. being able to know prices upfront and being able to make a fair decision on where to eat.
it is so weird this is not common sense.
