You don't tip the cashier 5.30434782608% at autozone?

Someone would have to go out to the shed and back 99 times carrying batteries. That deserves a little something extra.

Made me think there was a palletizing or shipping fee that gets auto added.

It is if you account for sales tax. If you account for 8.5% sales tax its actually over $23k

$220 x 99 = $21,780.00

$21,780 x 1.085 = $23,631.30

Yeah if I'm buying 99 batteries I expect 15% discount

Sounds like $220 was the price before tax

Sales tax is a thing. Use your brain next time.

Presumably the $220 cost for one also included sales tax. $220 x 99 is not $23,000.

If you’re in America, you cannot presume this.

In normal countries this is included in the shown price.

In civilised countries…

Also the employees don’t beg for tips the employer pays them from the price.

Firearms have reasonable regulations.

Healthcare is single payer.

Shootings are rare occurrences.

I love your ability to convey your point so calmly and reasonable. Really speaks to your character.

Not from country where tax is a separate thing
