Price advertised == Price actually charged.
It’s not really that hard. Do it!
Can we please include sales tax in that price too? It is also a bullshit hidden fee the way the US does it.
The argument the idiots use is "We want to see government theft!" instead of just having a line item at the end of your receipt showing tax collected and the breakdown. It's not like we don't have toiletpaper roll length receipts already.
The kicker is we already do the “price at point of sale including taxes” thing at gas stations. If it’s $3.09 or whatever per gallon, that’s including state and federal sales tax.
We already see the line item thing on most receipts anyway. We basically do everything except roll the sales tax into the sticker price.
Only 3.09 per gallon? We pay 2 per litre!
