I thought he was good but needed to be removed from the primary dialogue role . His antics would be more appropriate as a supporting cast member . <| sep |> I second , third and fourth this <| sep |> Its mostly because there are federal taxes , state taxes , and city taxes . So one state will have no sales tax while another one does . Then within that state , individual cities might have more or less tax , maybe a fraction of a cent her or there , so I think the stores just don ' t bother . Then if they started putting the actual cost with tax included , it would cause some other issues . A lot of stores will do price matching , so depending on the item someone might go buy something in one city then demand a price matching in another when the actual price might be different just because of the taxes in the area . It is stupid , but we deal with it .
