Well every states sales tax is different some states don't even have tax so it would be a little difficult for the companies to do I would think.

It should be a federal law that if you're gonna have tax you should include it.

In regards to 14, the majority of breads used in the US are white bread which at least in the US is made with sugar so to sweeten it up.

They also add sugar to breads to aid in the leavening process, which makes your bread not cracker-like.

Thank you guest I knew there had to be more of a reason behind it

Like starving people everywhere, racism, sexism, completely crazy religious nuts EVERYWHERE, homeschooling, school shootings, anti-vexx, the list goes on and on... the nice things I guess

The Uk and Australia definitely don't and I don't really know of any place in Europe that does but I could be wrong.

70 YEARS ago. We've learned, you didn't.

You also have to tip because they pay their servers terribly. The tipping offsets the bad wages.

I've always been under the impression 15% is standard unless your service is flat out terrible, due to the fault of the server being rude or inattentive, or you tip more if they're good. I usually only tip 15% if they weren't very good, I'll tip higher if they were. I have never not left a tip, because if someone is really terrible enough to warrant no tipping I'd speak to the manager instead. Luckily that doesn't happen often to me.

15%? As a British person that seems a little excessive

15% is normal here, sometimes a much as 20 if the service is great... It seems high to me as well but waiters probably don't get paid as much because they're expected to get tips
