dollar menu

[Righteousbro]

I an against taxes, and money in general, but yeah, I wish I didn't go to the store with a dollar and be told that the government wants 7 more cents from everyone.

And this is why Australia wins!
Because we're the same as the UK - read Tweak's reply

We also kick our prime minister out and bring in new ones overnight!
Woo! Go Julia Gillard!
*Sarcasm*

Mr. Rudd, You Got Me My Macbook. I'm Glad They Didn't Kick You Out Earlier x3

Don't worry David Cameron is improving the U.K

Funny, I've never heard of this "dollar menu" of which you speak.

Everything at McD's or BK is friggin over $2.99 where I am. Canada and their HST tax, I swear. A patty alone's gonna cost over $3 pretty soon.

[Self-sain]

gasp that sucks spike, tax is perfectly understandable to me... but I am bothered by the false misleading information broadcast by the producers of any product I'm just confused as to why we can't just be simple and not retarded.....we are just to stubborn

I just don't buy off the dollar menu..... food that cheap has to have something wrong with it..... but I think they should add tax to the advertised price universally, but the reason they have not is because american buisiness owners want to show you the lowest possible advertised price without it being false advertising, so they just don't show taxes, hence more customers thinking man thats quite a deal. But that should probably only apply to bigger items that cost more, since some people come in expecting to pay only a dollar, then have to pay more.... not having the money they must leave, its just stupid!

Yeah, I know what you mean. One time I went into a store to buy a bag of chips that said 99 cents right on the label, but of course there's taxes. I ended up being a penny short of about $1.06

[Grey_Wulf]

maybe they get something out of having you carry 93-94 cents in change around =3

You live in the US you should be used to the tax added. Here in the UK tax is part of the full price, so the advertised price is what we pay.

Haha, same with Sweden

And the same in the Netherlands. I think this is the case for most/all of the EU country,s.
But food for a dollar  , thats like extreemly cheap (€0.77)...........

True, but I'd imagine that anything from a fast food place that costs that much will be very small and not very filling...not to mention being cheap and unhealthy even by their normal standards. For all intents and purposes I'd imagine that a few chocolate bars that come to roughly the same price may have a higher level of nutrition and sustenance, but I guess that depends on the bar chosen, how many you were able to buy and what items are on these dollar menus.
The EU may be a pain sometimes with regulations and long times to make decisions but at least we don't have to worry about such annoyances as those in the US do when it comes to purchasing things

I love the non-sales tax states . Means I can have my dollar menu noms for the exact price listed.

Yay Oregon!  I've lived in both California and Washington, and I never did get used to sales tax.
