    That’s not why. It could still be required that taxes are included in the price. Franchises jn different locations already have different prices anyway (you think the price for a Big Mac is the same in NYC as it is in a suburb in Ohio?)

    It’s literally just so that businesses can advertise costs that are lower than what they are. Same reason Ticketmaster has 14 different convenience fees and tipping is a cultural norm rather than paying servers a living wage to begin with.
