I'm not really surprised. In the US we've been trained to expect that what we will wind up paying will be higher than the posted or advertised price.

Not everywhere. I pay the posted price, not a penny more.

I do indeed. I understand the frustration with going to the checkout and having to pay more than you expect, because I feel that whiplash every time I go somewhere with a sales tax. I'm used to the bill being exactly what it said when I picked up <whatever thing> off the shelf.
