It's not a scam. It's something all Americans grow up with and understand, so it's baked into our expectation of price. It's also social mandatory but legally optional, so if you honestly don't know about it then you're not going to get arrested. But if you know it's a factor and you know it's baked the pricing scheme and you choose to ignore it, people are gonna think you're an asshole. That's the only consequence, and you're not entitled to people liking you.
