The USA appears to have the SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE mentality toward consumers. Make a buck, or a penny, off suckers! Many prices have the 9.99 sticker on labels and advertised as such. To many Europeans that is insulting.
Also, in USA, when buying anything beyond sticker or ad or menu price, you also need to calculate the tip and tax for final payment. Cumbersome or unnecessary in civilized society, I think. In Europe, we have no need for tip and the tax is already in the price advertised. Very simple and respectful toward consumers.
Is USA more for rich business people who are greedy and care more about making more money than respecting the consumer? If so, then it is sad.
