so Chopstick bought this cute little 22in lcd tv and was flabbergasted to notice a $9 tax thingy on his receipt

can someone plz tell me what this "under 30 inch bc $9 tax thing" is? for what ulterior purpose does this serve?

tv bought at best buy, if this helps

seems quite racist to me. those dicksmackers

*edit*
for smartasses, yes i've tried google

all electronics in BC have a recyclable tax I believe. Laptops have them. TVs have them as well. The bigger the size of the TV, the bigger the fee. Its like a disposal fee or some shit.. cash grab if you ask me.

^ That

[Alatar]

Just be glad it wasn't 32" or something. Then it would have been $30.

[Grandmaster TSE]

most likely EHF

[InvisibleSoul]

You didn't Google hard enough!

[BlackZRoadster]

[TheKingdom2000]

wow. i guess you haven't bought electronics in awhile.
this has been in effect for a couple years at least now.

but if its got tv cable connection its considered a tv

[haymura]

$9.00 for anything under 32". anything over 32" is $31.75

[Shun Izaki]

EHF's are the bane of my existence.... they're annoying to explain to people buying shit online...

[TheKingdom2000]

lol, i'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic because of the size of the "tv"

[BlackZRoadster]

i thought he was sarcastic at first, but its a fail at sarcasm.

Reason is, there are huge monitors you can buy that is only considered "LCD monitors" b/c they don't have TV input.

If it has TV input on the monitor then its considered a LCD TV no matter if its 15" or xx"

yes im a geek
:alone:

This is like someone explaining a joke. If you just tried it, you might have gotten away with it. Now, I just had to fail you.

im just explaing the original poster failing at sarcasm, and its not i dont get his trying to be sarcastic.

anyways carry on with the conversation of how its dumb to argue about a mandatory fee :fullofwin:

[hk20000]

hahaha coz it's not long enough you are getting charged.

Someone with over 30" will be charged more, surely they are racist!!! :troll:
