Cause nobody has any money, and people want to make decisions about paying for stuff based on how much stuff actually costs.
Like if you went to a bookstore, and the book was $10, and you go to pay, and the store was like "akshually, if you don’t pay $12, the clerk doesn’t get paid, and the clerk is OK with that because maybe you’ll pay $13.
If the book costs $12, then maybe I’m still interested in that price. But if I expect to pay $10, and then the amount is more, then I’m feeling differently about that delta.

This is kinda my complaint with not adding the tax to the sticker price.
And you’re not even allowed to know what the tax is beforehand.
