Because then people would be less inclined to book them. That’s why tip culture works in America, people operate off the listed price but then still tip. But the tip often doesn’t figure into their initial calculation.
If you have comparable talent offering $100 versus $80, you’re probably going to book the $80 person.
America math is a scam, over here in the UK we just pay the listed price (tax included in listed price). Over there in America y'all pay the listed price then hidden tax then hidden tip on top of that.. why not just be honest about price points and pay people fair wages?
It really is that capitalism scam. Our whole economy is built on trying to trick people into spending their money on things they aren't getting or getting stuck with hidden costs once they've decided to buy. I feel like things have gotten worse over the decades - companies used to have to follow laws when advertising and I remember several companies getting sued for false advertising. Nowadays, everyone has figured out how to use language to skirt around those laws and still trick you.
This is not the American dream. This is the dream of a few wealthy assholes who make all the decisions and who have not only brainwashed the dumbest members of society into believing they are good for them, but are standing on the backs of years of work their predecessors did to ensure those same people would be uneducated now.
The rest of us are just fighting for our lives, rights, and freedoms over here.
idk, when you make good money and have good insurance id say it shits on the UK pretty easily tbh. but yea if you dont have those 2 things then life sucks for you
Say it with disrespect. It’s the only way some of the ones who need to learn might actually start learning. I can’t believe I’m actually looking to move out the country if I ever have the opportunity. Not something I ever would have imagined in my youth. But im glad I was taught two languages so that helps I guess
