At least Walmart is likely to honor the price on the shelf. Dollar stores often just change prices without updating the shelf, so you don't know what you're going to pay until you get to the register. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/03/customers-pa...
This is illegal in the UK (and we aren't even talking about the hidden tax surprise at US registers either), unsurprising to see it's normalised in the US.
I absolutely wish that prices were inclusive of tax in the US, but to be fair, it's not a "hidden tax surprise" to us, since it's been like that everywhere for our entire lives.
