I’d be truly shocked if my evening noodles were suddenly ฿235

the issue with VAT and service chargd is that in shops like supermarkets and department stores, they can manage to include VAT in the price shown on shelves

if they were to add 7% at the till there'll be public revolt

 

restaurants are welcomed to add whatever percentage they want to make their overheads and pay staff, but not including in the price shown on menus is borderline deceptive - sayint it's industry practice doesn't help, it makes the price artificially low, but does it really? say a dish in a sit down restaurant is 220 on the menu, plus vat and service chage it comes to 257, would anyone balks at the price and walk away if it were listed as 260? 

 

by law they can get away with stating vat and service charge in a sign or on menus

It's an Americanisation that is annoying. 

 

It's clearly deceptive. It's banned in the UK and the EU for that reason.

 

America is a nightmare as they add on tax on things you buy in a supermarket too !!!
