4) Sales tax
As someone who shops, eats, and buys essential items to live, I have decided that one of the cruelest things in existence is sales tax.
I know from a rational economical standpoint, tax is entirely necessary to fund national programs, our military, blah blah blah.
But, when I purchase something for a reasonable price and then at checkout the price jumps up due to tax, I am not happy.
$1.99 for a package of box of tissues? Great! Oh wait - thanks to tax, now it's $2.13. Don't have 13 cents? NO! Now you receive 87 cents back in coins and we all know that change is basically useless/meaningless/just weighs down your swag.
Honesty, I would rather that they build tax into the price of the items before listing it. It would help prepare me for the result instead of tainting the final moments of my shopping experience.
