    Is that the check out price or you pay for additional tax?

    Tax is calculated at checkout, and differs per state, sometimes even per county. Most of my purchases were at 6.5%.

    I see. I just asked coz somewhere in New Jersey they say the price in the store is the price you pay. Though I'm not sure if there's a catch (e.g., higher tag prices??) coz I've never been in there.

    They retaliate with repaints.

    Great read jay. Very interesting. I still find 24 hour open times sheer madness.

    What are your thoughts on costco? We are getting those here soon.

    Also bigw is nothing (as severe), like what you've described, woolworths is, and yea, bigw is part of that group, but woolworths is more prolific, but I shop at coles, WW can suck the big one.

    I guess their laws on photography must be close to ours then? I know that here they can't do squat, you can even photograph the employees if you wanted here.

    You realise you've just given me free rein to commence some heavy stalking there don't you.


    Great read Jd. Wish I was there when those Walmart b*tches started with the 'NO CAMERAS, NO CAMERAs' crap. Opportunity for some top fun there.

    As for the moral dilemma, personally I abhor poor customer service and that attitude has helped me save cash through the years, especially with fast food and other restaurants as I wont go back there if treated badly.
    I would spend the little bit extra for the friendly service as you want to feel good after buying. Think of it as a 'pleasant experience tax'.
    Also f*** Walmart, evil *** bastards.

    Nope, I didn't say you can stalk anyone. Back in your cage.
