tax

What is with the mystery about tax when paying for food? Instead of yanking my chain by saying I can have X amount of food for, say 200 plus tax, why not just tell the customer up front on one of those mile high billboards that you have to pay 250? When was the last time one customer got charged more or less of a percentage of tax on the same amount of food? What's the surprise in calculating 15%? Does the result vary from time to time? (Actually that could happen if I were calculating since my math is notoriously poor)

This post has no real point. It's just another minor pet peeve out of a hundred.
