Currently listening to: Lover Girl – Laufey

I’m in a reckless fever
Love-struck girl, I’d tease her
Thought I’d never be her
Quite the job you’ve done on me, sir
You’ve been hosting parties
In my mind, I’m working overtime
To have you in my world
Oh, what a curse it is to be in love

Do you think tax should be included in prices or added at checkout?

Prompt snagged from: TCMC

I think it should absolutely be included. I hate surprise totals, it throws me off and makes the whole shopping experience less fun. Just tell me the real price upfront so I can decide if it’s worth it or not. Otherwise, it feels like a bait-and-switch.

Especially with the way prices have been creeping up lately, thanks to tariffs or whatever else, I’m already side-eyeing half the things in my cart. Seeing the final price suddenly jump when tax gets added along with shipping costs just makes me more likely to further edit my cart or just empty my basket.

    “Buying things” these days needs more careful thinking, I think.

    In marketing and e-commerce – in work – the people mostly want the Customer to get through checkout quickly… studies has shown that many customers don’t go ahead from that lol….

    We currently have no state or local taxes. Some individual towns in Alaska have local taxes but not Fairbanks.

      Wow….. I know that things are expensive as is in Alaska so I’m glad that they don’t have that. How are the schools, fire fighters and police funded there?
