  There isn’t zero reason, you’re just unwilling to accept the reasons.

    Prices tags are normally prepared using computers which are famously good at maths. Here in the UK, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland have different rules for tax on certain products and yet everything is advertised with the final price.

      I would love tax-included pricing (or maybe VAT?), though from what I know:

      TV ads, sponsorship spots, circulars all complicate this.

        TV ads usually don’t mention pricing for national brands. Local ads like circulars are generally for just one store anyway. All of this would be low effort to do. The only reason they don’t is it tricks people into spending more than they want.

        Prices are printed on packaging for many things too, books, magazines, bags of potatoe chips.
