Sales tax is the most obvious example of adding to the cost I’ve been shown, but it’s everything. Here if there is a price on something that is the price you pay. Period.
If I have €5 and the price on the shelf is €4.90 we are all good, and I don’t even need to know what country I’m in!
But is is more than that, if I take my car in to be fixed, they have to agree every cost they want to charge me in advance at no point can anything cost me more than I expected and agreed to up front.
Airline tickets, theatre tickets, hospital bills, TV ads, you name it, the price they state or advertise is what I pay, no ifs-no buts.

Great in theory, but then you get charged 25 cents at checkout for a bottle deposit. Sure, you can claim if back later, but that price sure as hell isn’t listed on the shelves! You just need to read the tiny little label to see how much you’ll be charged extra. Oh, and don’t forget to return the bottles in the same country before you come back from holiday, because you as hell can’t return it in another country!
VAT makes things easier but that doesn’t mean there are no hidden fees anywhere. There just aren’t that many of them.

Bragging <.< Trying to make us all jelly.
Or jam, or marmite, or whatever bread-spread-stuff.
I think they spread tea on crumpets or something
Last I heard it was beans on tea. Or was it bread on beans, I can’t remember.
Idk. But I think if you say crumpets three times fast they break away from your continent.
