The CEO said he wouldn't raise prices to inflation, so he had to make the profits somewhere.

That's because all delivery drivers get hazard pay anytime they leave their house due to all of the perilous animals and insects abound.

"Legend says the Americans were so mad about the tea taxes they conspired for the next 200 years to make tea cheap for them and then raise the price for the British and their colonies."

Replying to Thedorf69420 (#1,637,180)

In Australia we include GST in listing price. The bare minimum you could expect it to be sold for is $2.00 AUD Inc GST. prices are more attractive at round numbers so $3.00 makes more sense than $2.30 or $2.50 for example.

That's why

.99 USD IS already 1.40 AUD. Take into account import costs, wages of the importer's employees, and AU vat, you don't have a half bad price here.

With that out of the way... It's 1.29 EUR in DE. That's 1.99 AUD. (Had to flex, sorry)
