Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And does that apply to taxes, which also aren't included in the menu price?

in civilized societies all taxes and everything are included in the price you will be required to pay. civilized societies don't rely on hidden costs to wear down their people. though on this latter part, the plague is already spreading from the US...

Is it because you want to pinch pennies, and you can choose to not tip but have to pay tax, and deep down you know you're only fucking over the employee but have to sanitize your conscience so you can save 20% on your bill?

you have to understand this. It's not the pesky filthy consumer that scews you. It's your employer. but sure, it's easier and even pleasurable to hate the small person, than your owner.
