7% tax
Another very annoying thing, that the tax isn't included in the price from the start. You know, in general. Not in this situation in particular.
It's important from a tip perspective. You don't tip based on tax
Right. But from what I remember living for about 9 months in Florida, was that prices for everything and anything were given without tax. So if you had a $20 in your pocket and you went to the store for some bullshit snacks for movie night or whatever, you had to do some pretty weird math in your head (x × 1.07, where x is your current total from the price tags) in order to know how much you could spend. Quite annoying.
Please just give me the real price. The price I need to spend. That's the only one I need, that really matters in that moment.
Delivery services don’t seem to understand that though
