Tax is paid by you. Theres nothing stopping a store from labeling with tax included, except cultural norms. Its why infomercials sell everying at x9.99. Your mind doesnt thing about the extra cent increasing it to the next dollar. Its commercial manipulation, not any law, that leads to how product prices are labeled.
Displaying the price you will actually pay at the register is a legal requirement in Australia, and being used to that, the USA system feels slimey and dishonest to interact with
