Tips are optional, so that's completely irrelevant. Taxes are required by the government, so while it's not ideal that they're not included, at least they're known and expected (true for hotels as well). (Not to mention that if you're shopping at Nordstrom, you already show you don't care about your money.) Greed fees are more like the "health benefit surcharge" added by many restaurants in S.F. that are not included in the food price. Those are a money grab and a way to hide the true cost just like the hotel greed fees.

I look forward to the day that this happens. All posted prices everywhere should include all required taxes and fees. Full stop.
