minus-square@upstream@beehaw.orglinkfedilink77•10 months agoTraveling in the US it can often feel like everyone wants to scam you or take advantage of you if you don’t pay attention. Heck, even store prices and restaurant prices aren’t the real price. Store prices are without sales tax/VAT, and restaurants wants you to tip 20% so they can keep not paying their “employees”.
