    The kicker is we already do the “price at point of sale including taxes” thing at gas stations. If it’s $3.09 or whatever per gallon, that’s including state and federal sales tax.

    We already see the line item thing on most receipts anyway. We basically do everything except roll the sales tax into the sticker price.
