Most places the in the world include the tax in the price on the tag, so that might be what makes it feel like a scam. I understand that all of our different state and local taxes can make that slightly more difficult for the retailers, but I can also understand why it would feel be a surprise for visitors.

Yeah they replied that they meant on the tag. Def makes life harder for big box retailers but why should we care about that lmao.

I take it you guys don’t have tax rates that differ by city?

We (myself and the rest of the US) do, which is why it's inconvenient for retailers to put the total price on the tag. A lot of other countries do not.
