>>13681319sure it'd be good if they included the tax in the price.
the issue is that there are many large franchises which span several states and sales tax varies depending on the state. walmart for example doesn't want to deal with a fact that they're selling cups at $4.23 in california and $4.37 in florida so that it comes out to $5 in both states so they just make it $5+tax in both and make it the customer's problem.
naturally it'd be better if they didn't do this, but it's too much logistical pain for them to actually do.
