They were, until their seashells broke and people mistook their meat for something else.
Taco Hell? We have those. But people with taste who may be in haste will go to Taco Time. Much nicer.
Yes, that’s a part of both Indian and Coloured South African English (Coloured dialect only has y’all in some specific sublects, unlike Indians who all [heh] have it).
Indians also characteristically/stereotypically have an “And all” or “An’all” idiomatic construction, which otherwise is a Northern England regionalism, I think.
Is your math off or did I miss something? 3x20+10≠90
But I totally agree about price tags. Put the price out the door on it and be done.
Yeah, there was a fourth twenty there, it just happened to be so closely registered to the ten that we failed to notice it.
Here’s why: because it puts the onus for tagging the merchandise on the retailer instead of on the distributor.
Currently, Macy’s can ship 1000 sweaters to their stores, all with a tag saying “$49.99”. But store A has a 8.75% sales tax, but store B in the next county charges 9.25%.
Plus tax-exempt purchasers wouldn’t know their price (although they are a small subset, and would see at the register (presumably it could be programmed to back out the sales tax)).
Another minor issue is that you are charged tax on the total of your bill, with the amount rounded to the appropriate penny. If all items are marked with their rounded tax included amount, the numbers probably won’t line up.
But I’d still like an out-the-door price, and would be willing to deal with an extra $0.05 or so if that was the cost of doing business that way.
As that means that the retailer has to tag all the items, rather than the manufacturer, it is probably going to be more than a $0.05 cost. You are going to have to pay a person to look at the price, determine the price with tax, and then change or add a tag indicating that price. Minus materials, if you pay someone 10 an hour to do this job, and they can do 3 a minute, then you are paying over .05 just on that labor.
Realistically, in order to pay for the increased labor, materials, and capital, they would need to charge about $1 more an item.
Maybe you would pay that, but there would be many others who would be happy to do the math in their own head and save the money at a competitor.
Most stuff is not tagged these days anyway. Prices are displayed on shelves and displays, not so much on the products themselves. And determining the price with tax is fairly simple: for instance, if tax is 8.25%, the tax component of the total price is about 7.62%, so you figure what will support your profit margin requirements. That toy truck will not be marked at $37.61, you will pick a nice round price that covers your tax bill, like $37.98 or something. It is not complicated or difficult or crushingly expensive.
It’s humorous to see the carcinogenic properties of pot compared to tobacco. Even if they were equal, if I took as many lungfulls of pot as the typical smoker does of tobacco, they’d me mopping me up off the floor.
Ron White, good ol’ boy…
“Got a prescription for medical marijuana to treat depression. I get bummed out when I run out of weed.”
Just out of curiosity, I don’t listen to the right-wing radio ranters and don’t frequent right-wing sites but have any prominent conservative voices in either the media or politics backed Sessions’ reboot of the War on Weed?
That’s the thing - Sessions’ attitudes aren’t even particularly mainstream. You might have some loud voices celebrating it but most don’t seem to care or even dislike the line.
I just dipped my toe in Breitbart, and that’s all I want to do without taking another shower, but most of the articles seem to be reporting and I didn’t see an official editorial line. Other sources like National Review (not terribly pro-Trump or even fond of him) seem to be more contemptuous of Sessions’ policy. Fox News has opinion pieces that go in both directions.
I nosed around the blaze, clownhall, daily beast, moonietimes, and it was mostly bland reporting. One interesting thing I found on breitbart, though,
So, that guy must be Wally.
And tomorrow if Trump made a speech about how we needed to keep it on Schedule I and arrest all the potheads, Scott ‘Trump Fellater’ Adams would be hailing it as a bold speech and agreeing with every point.
This is what *really annoys me about shopping for used cars (in person). Virtually every used car lot does not put prices on any of their vehicles, because the law only requires sticker prices on new vehicles.
I mean… seriously? I’m about to spend thousands of dollars on something, and I can’t even see the prices in advance of deciding on which one I’m going to choose, I’m potentially getting screwed for hundreds of dollars by default, and I have to deal with a pressuring salesman on commission and settle on a car with no idea what it costs before I can even request to see the book on it to get *some idea if it’s even going to be a reasonable price?
It’s friggin barbaric. I don’t know how used car lots stay in business. If there isn’t *some price on the cars, even if that’s just a starting point to negotiate from, I don’t know why anyone would buy a car from that lot. I’m amazed those places stay in business.
There is truth in this. Oregon’s AHJ in this industry, the OLCC, tends to change rules on growing in the middle of the season when a big player gets their licensing.
Latest example, changes to the hemp rules when Phillip Morris just buys out one of the largest concentrate players in the state.
Hmm.
Oregon created a huge diversion problem last year when they changed the approved pesticide lists half way through the growing season, creating literally tons of product that all of a sudden couldn’t be sold.
Oh, heck, let them buy it, so long as they don’t use it!
Oh, fuck, that is all we need, to have Big T getting in on it.
