Difference between Canada and England(/UK). Part 2- The shops

It's almost Christmas and as I've been shopping I thought I'd do my second post on differences between England (/UK) and Canada.

In the UK the price you see on the label of a product in a shop is generally the price you'll pay for the product. So you see a nice pair of trousers (pants) for £25, and you pay £25 at the till. Here, however, the price listed doesn't include tax. This means trousers (pants) costing $20 will end up being $23 or something. This can be a pain. Especially if you go to the till with a $20 note to pay for those trousers (pants) and find you don't have any more money on you!

Personally, I like seeing a price tag and paying what's on it.
