>"Sorry, we don't include tax in the price that is displayed, so you'll need to either figure that out in your head or just pull the slot machine of what you are actually gonna pay at the register."
Canada, where I lived for years, has, or at least when I was there had, the same thing with taxes not being included in posted prices, and yes, it's annoying, i'll grant you that. I especially realized how annoying when I eventually moved to a country where all posted retail prices include all taxes. However, if you're in a supermarket with $150 in groceries in your cart and can't muster the neurons to roughly remember what sales taxes in your area are (their percentage is indeed often mentioned in price tags) and do the tiny bit of mental arithmetic necessary to know what 15% on $150 or etc is, you've got bigger problems than a specific grocery bill.
