Re: backorder stuff

Bob (in the US and I always admired Canada before this)

In many other countries the price you see on the shelves is final, it
includes taxes. I don't have to think what a frack is 15% from 4.29
when I buy icecream and see if my 5 bucks are enough or not. This is
one of the things I don't like when I'm here.

What? You're laughing because I complained even before I was actually
charged? Is that it? You don't think I won't be charged, do you?
