I suspect it’s something about how often in the US, taxes are added to the displayed price at the cash register. That’s not true in Europe, and is jarring when visiting or moving here.

However, this doesn’t apply to gas stations in the US. The displayed price is always inclusive of all taxes and fees. I don’t think there are any states in the US where that isn’t true.

Which is why the comment above is illogical. The prices are posted on a big sign outside. The prices are posted in real time on the pump itself.

Equating gas stations to slavery can’t be a real comment, can it? This feels like someone who hasn’t been to the United States trying to tell a story about the United States being bad based on how they imagine it working.

Which is strange because gas stations are a very notable exception to this rule and the tax is all included in the posted price.
