Not all of them. It get's my wife fairly regularly. She'll come tell me about something and tell me it's $20. It's really $29.99.
All of it is being sold illegally. Marijuana sales is still a federal crime. But there is no federal will to prosecute. I know there are some states and dispensaries that take it more seriously than others. I've purchased in CO and had both cash only and pay by credit card with an additional fee at two places only blocks apart.
My wife is the opposite - she'll round up everything. Maybe it's the conservative accountant in her.
Maybe in 100+ years from now. But not in our lifetime. The only reason there is suddenly a shortage is because people are not spending/re-circulating them. They throw them in the coin jar
But does she run out of pennies? I have not run into that anywhere, yet. Now during the pandemic, some places ran out of ALL coins. I started buying my Lottery tickets with my stockpile of quarters. Owner said he would buy all the quarters I had.
She said when she has her own drawer (working a full shift), she'll get a dollar in pennies, and there's no issue. However, she has ran out when using someone else's drawer (if she's only doing 3-4 hours).
Disneyland is the only place I have seen restaurants include tax. Only reason I have even paid attention is that I am on the board of directors of a civil group that meets for lunch, and we have used three different restaurants in the past few years. We have between 40 and 100 people per lunch. The current restaurant does NOT add automatically add gratuities, nor did the one before. But the restaurant we used until before those two did, and they calculated the 18% tip on the total AFTER sales tax. That can add close to $20 to the tip just on the sales tax on a $1,000 tab. And tip is supposed to be calculated only on the cost of the food, Our Treasurer always made them recalculate it to reflect no tip on the sales tax portion of the bill.
That's retro? (Looking at my VCR, DVD player and landline)
yes
And? Still consider retro.
I agree but more often than not it's calculated post-tax. I don't think there's a rule though either way, it's down to how a place of business sets up their software calculations (which seem to be more after tax more often than not).
Not saying it's not.
My wife's step sister has over 1,000 movies on Beta. She and her husband were stationed in Japan in the late 1980s. Beta was the big format there, not VHS. They ran out and bought a new Beta machine in 2002 when Sony announced they were no longer going to make them. I am surprised to see you can still get new VHS decks, but only ones I find are combos with DVD players.
Yeah for that poster they've been removed from the initial impact for a long enough time period due to their own country's decisions they may have forgotten what it was like during the initial announcement and then the initial implementation. And the two countries aren't the same, some effects to people can be the same but others aren't with differing make up of the populations between the two countries. Not for nothing but landlines aren't nearly as prevalent as they used to be but they still are around for one reason or another in many states. We built our house in 2014 without a landline but about 30% of my state as of 2024 still had them obviously not a majority by any means but some states were much closer like Connecticut that had just under 48% having a landline.
