In North America I hate buying anything, anywhere. Currently whatever I'm buying is 13% (tax) more than the sticker price, not including an arbitrary service charge and tip amount.

Whatever tip I give will be either too little and I'm guilty, or too much and I'm annoyed, or zero and I'm a monster.

It's exhausting. Just put a number on the sticker and let me either take it or leave it.

And tipping on the after tax amount too!
