I didn't know Russians were this baZed...

I nearly just got robbed in a broad daylight in Manhattan I was ordering a coffee in a Starbucks on Fifth Avenue Menu at the counter said $4.90 I handed the barista a $5 bill She said "umm sir that'll be $5.91" I raised my eyebrow Did that blue-haired, weirdly looking obese woman try to scam me? "The menu says $4.90" I said "Yes, plus tax" I felt my blood pressure rising "So the price on the menu isn't the actual price?" "It is but there is also a sales tax--" I couldn't believe what I was hearing I pulled out my phone to call the Federal Trade Commission to report false advertising Unfortunately I did not purchase roaming feature in my German-made Android phone, so the call did not go through Suddenly a Wall Street guy in a Patagonia vest pushed past me, tossed a $20 on the counter "I got this loser's coffee, keep the change" Now I was even more disturbed I legally just received a gift Personal donations over €50 require reporting in the EU I asked the barista for the guy's name for my tax filing She said "bro I don't know who that was just go away" I took a photo of the receipt as documentation I called my representative at the German tax authority who said I must declare this coffee right after I'm back in Europe I got on the Lufthansa flight to Munich the same day Americans have normalized financial deception so deeply they think transparency is confusing Europeans, as usual, lead the global civilization eurofounder / 𝕏
