This is a distraction.

The regional supermarket chain in new england that is owned by kroger ALREADY localizes their weekly sales flyer TO THE STORE despite every store in the state having the exact same tax rates.

They STILL don't include the tax in the price listed because fuck you, this is america



No, it's not a distraction.

Not all ads are weekly sales flyers, obviously. And not all states have the same sales tax throughout, of course.

Also, you know that most items in a Kroger's don't even have sales tax in the first place? So that's an odd place to use as an example.

Do they actually "localizes their weekly sales flyer TO THE STORE", or you only think that way because they ask for the exact store location to view their flyers? It could very well be that they ask the exact store for analytics purposes, but all the stores have the same flyer.
