Re: A World Without Chernobyl
I refuse to haggle for things. I'll pay the price + tax thats on the tin, because it is simply less hassle.
I want my crap and I want out, in the quickest manner possible.

Price on tin = x. Price the bugger at the till charges = x + something. Me =
Is it the same in Canada, or do you display the price they expect you to pay?

Re: A World Without Chernobyl
Depends on the item. Milk is the price on the tin, other things you add .13$ on the dollar. Which is why I always buy a phone with a calculator.

I think over here tax is usually included in the price itself.Captain Seafort wrote:What about the States?Cpl Kendall wrote:I'll pay the price + tax thats on the tin, because it is simply less hassle.

Re: A World Without Chernobyl
Yeah and I honestly prefer this system. I'd rather see what the good costs and then what the government is hitting me up for rather than a single price combining both.

Re: A World Without Chernobyl
Personally I prefer our one, since WYSIWYG. I want to pay the price I see on the label - not that + 21%.

Re: A World Without Chernobyl
You mean what the good costs, plus the added value so the producer can make a profit, plus what the government wants. Remember, the price on the label isn't necessarily the price of production, although the price of production is part of it.Tyyr wrote:Yeah and I honestly prefer this system.

Re: A World Without Chernobyl
That has nothing to do with anything at the retail end. There's the consumer price, and there there's (for purposes of this discussion) the total cost to the consumer including tax. The COS has zero relevance.Sonic Glitch wrote:You mean what the good costs, plus the added value so the producer can make a profit, plus what the government wants.

Re: A World Without Chernobyl
Theres apparently a law here that says certain items must be combined and certain items must be separate. IE: tattoo shops are not aloud to combine tax and cost. Why? Fuck knows.

Ours is only 8.125 (here in New York at least).

Re: A World Without Chernobyl
I do try. And wanted to make sure my understanding of how pricing works is correct.Tyyr wrote:Sonic Glitch wrote:You mean what the good costs, plus the added value so the producer can make a profit, plus what the government wants.
