I think it’s so obnoxious when I go into a little shop and nothing has a price tag. I hate it with the white hot passion of a thousand suns. Are you seriously gonna make me ask you about the price of every little thing I might consider purchasing? Or would you prefer that I bring a bunch of stuff to the register and then decide if I actually want it as you ring it up? And it honestly doesn’t matter if I can afford it (although the lack of clearly labeled prices are particularly rude to people who maybe can’t). No matter how much money I have I will never feel good about getting ripped off so the asking price will always be a factor.
I was recently in a local needlepoint supply store where they had nothing labeled. Needlepoint supplies vary wildly in price. You can get thread for a dollar or for $20. Canvases can cost 5 bucks or hundreds. From their website I saw that this store had needle minders (little decorative magnets to hold your needle when you take a break, they usually look like enamel pins but with magnets instead of the pin and clasp). Well they had $7 needle minders and $75 needle minders. So someone will wander in and see a cute 1 inch Snoopy magnet, think it’s a cute impulse purchase and then get hit with $75 + tax and have to either smile and go along with it or have to back out. It’s just a piss poor customer experience.
Okay, now add in multiple taxes, which one gets removed first so it squares up? You’re ignoring reality to make a simple example. I bought some clothing too, there’s no tax at all on that, so you can’t just remove it from the final sales price. Now it doesn’t square up. Whoops…. Maybe there’s a reason we don’t do that….?
Yes, minorities, they are exempt, natives specifially as well. You want to discriminate against minorities and natives? Just so you don’t need to do some simple mental math…?
Maybe the situation here is different which is why we are different…?
Shocker eh?
People who barely speak the language and you want to try and explain complex taxes and exemptions and why the price is different for them? They’re a foreigner, could even be a refugees. But fuck them…? When you should understand since you were taught? Please make it make sense lol.
All anyone around here hears is how selfish and lazy you want to be when the reason is “simpler for me”. Think of others, especially ones that would have their life’s significantly impacted by a selfish thing like this.
