    We have that in the Netherlands; it’s very helpful. You usually see a price per kilo or a price per liter. Makes it really easy to just look at product X, Y and Z and see which one is actually more expensive, without having to do math in your head. That really should be the law everywhere.

      Yeah, and in the UK I noticed that tax is included on the listed price as well. So again, no surprises for people when they check out, and don’t need to do the math to account for the extra tax.

        Same in the Netherlands. A shop legally must show a price that includes taxes. I’m always amazed that that’s not a thing in the US. Because you’re still forced to pay those taxes anyway, so why confuse things by not just showing the tax included price?

        Here, what you see is what you pay.
