So how long until you guys stop doing that and only use the real price? It might be the most frustrating part of visiting Japan. Feels ironic considering how correct and customer oriented Japanese shops are.

Probably never, and part of that probably is because Japanese shops are customer oriented.

I mean, electronics stores make a pretty big deal of the fact that foreign non-residents can pay the tax free price, so it's probably worth displaying the tax free price for that reason. I believe it's only really for purchases over either 5 or 10 thousand (can't remember which), but still.

Meh, that sucks. I never tried to get the tax back from all my purchases in Japan and never will. If anyone needs money right now it's Japan.
