Comment on Supermarket responds after Reddit user’s warning about self-checkout overcharge — ‘Was annoyed that the total amount due on my supermarket purchase did not equate to the individual items I purchased.’

Ignoring the price discount on the mangos, the answer here is sales tax, right? Because otherwise it would be $15.70. It’s a bad design that tax amounts don’t show up on the itemized screen (but probably on the final screen after that).

Tell me if anyone knows for sure, otherwise I’m going to assume that’s the issue…

Only the US adds sales tax after the original price, everywhere else it’s included in the price on the shelf.

  Not just the US, Canada is like this too.

    Unfortunately. Should be all-in price.

Itemized prices should already include tax.

Total will also include tax.

But receipts will outline how much of the total was tax.

Doesn’t Australia include the tax in the listed price of the item instead of adding it at the end?

Does Australia charge tax on groceries?

  Depends on what it is.
  
  But most raw food is tax free
