Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour

And also put the taxes into the sticker/menu prices. No more of this price jumping at the register.

I see the justification in adding the tax on afterwards because putting it on stickers and menus imposes more work on the business whenever the sales tax changes. If you’ve ever done a store inventory you’ll get it. Also if you live in a place with sales tax, which in America means almost everywhere, you get used to mentally approximating it, or at least knowing it’s going to be added on - and a sales tax amount is mandated, it isn’t something you have to agonize over.

Boohoo. Other countries have figured it out. If we can’t get fast and efficient trains like other countries have, we can at least stick the tax into the sticker price.
Keeping tax off the sticker makes the price seem artificially lower, this making people spend more money.
