So are all prices over there displayed with taxes already added? Over here is it the exact opposite. Everything is listed pre-tax(save for some things like gas, some food stuffs and the like) so we all become quite good at decimal multiplication (price*1.13 in my case ).

I don't understand why in the US (and it seems Canada) prices don't include tax. It's stupid imho. The price you see should be the price you pay, not see one price then get up to the till and suddenly have to pay more.
