But I don't live in the USA. Canadian stores are much the same though with the sticker price not reflects HST or GST or GST/PST or whatever other odd acronyms used across the country. The only consolation is that consumer stuff only gets provincial and federal sales taxes. I was in one place in the USA and the sales tax involved four different percentages for city on up to state (I don't think there was a federal chunk but I could be wrong). Move 10 meters and you're outside the city so recalculate the taxes.
