Aww … poor little ISPs.

  • 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!

    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.
