Re: All purpose question and advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

Why can't America just add the sales tax into the shelf price? Why wait to the end all the time?

Re: All purpose question and advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

Because taxes are different based on each county/city.

Re: All purpose question and advice thread

It's different based on state, county, and city, and those can overlap in weird ways. You can literally have a different amount of tax by going ten minutes over to the next town. It would be a lot of work for every store to figure out the tax for every item and put it on the shelves only to have to take it off when corporate makes them reorganize the store.

Why doesn't each individual store do it, like they do in the rest of the world? It isn't like the store is moving across borders. And blaming it on stores shifting products around doesn't make sense, because you are moving the price label with the product anyway. Just add the tax value in with the price tag on the shelf. Again, like the rest of the world. It ought to be easier than ever, especially since the computer and barcode reader already know the tax and do the calculating.

Because that would take worker's time ($), resources to create the infrastructure to do that ($$), products to maintain it ($$$), and it's not the law. So why spend the $$$$$ for something they don't need to do?

As someone who works in a supermarket in Germany (who is very backward when it comes to money - cash is still King here), I wonder how so? The cash register knows what things cost in the end aka the "system" (for lack of better word) knows. We have mostly electronic price tags that change automatically every time a price changes.

I could see the difficulty if everything was paper tags- which still exist here in some stores - but you have to change those for sales anyways? Do tax fluctuate?

Re: All purpose question and advice thread

We still have paper tags. I've never seen a store not have paper tags. We don't change the tags for sales, we add a new "sale" tag with the new price next to the regular tag. Taxes can fluctuate, on all levels (county, city, state). Usually it's property and income taxes, but sales tax can change; mostly as added (and then expired) taxes on "vice" items like sugary drinks, tobacco products, snack foods, etc.

Re: All purpose question and advice thread

Is the store on wheels and moving through all those different locations? If not, then the level of taxes is predictable in each store.

Re: All purpose question and advice thread

[(Anonymous)]

No, but as I've explained since we only use paper tags, and the numbers differ with each store, and stores are re-arranged every few months, and there's no law saying they have to, stores aren't going to expend the energy and the resources to do it. They just aren't. No amount of "but it's more logical to do it this other way" will get them to spend money they don't absolutely have to.
