So he thought something was $37 and went to the store with $37?

What about tax? Seems he would have had to go back anyways.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Europeans have this stupid law where the price advertised already includes tax.

And by "stupid" I mean "why the !@#* don't we have that too?!

Because then you dont know how much tax was (they dont itemize it on the receipt).

 

And then politicians raise the taxes all the time because people dont really know.

 

In America, your reciept shows the price, and the taxes clearly seperate, makes it harder for politicians to raise them. A better way imo.
