putting it on stickers and menus imposes more work on the business whenever the sales tax changes.

Boohoo. Other countries have figured it out. If we can't get fast and efficient trains like other countries have, we can at least stick the tax into the sticker price.

Keeping tax off the sticker makes the price seem artificially lower, this making people spend more money.
