          there we go. that makes sense. could also be a nazi dogwhistle. come to think of it, summing up purchases these days is mostly a matter of whether you have a phone on you and can use the calculator app. The smart thing to do though is look at unit prices and not prices. With food/drink at least. You can have something that looks cheaper but the package is just oversized and the price per gram or whatever is the same or higher.
