    All prices in NZ include tax. It's really stupid doing it any other way. Oh, and we actually pay our hospitality staff, so no tip required. The price of their service is built into the price of the meal.....

    From Sweden...I was at a grocery store where we tried it out. They had installed two checkout lines for it. About 90% went through fine, but 10% didnt so someone had to come help anyway. On the other hand most grocery stores have portable bar readers we use to ”blip” our purchases and then checkout at the end.

    So you see how this works is, you pull the tab and there is a small hole bored there, with a small piece of the coconut husk protecting it still and all you do is push a straw into it and drink the coconut water out of it! I just saw some videos on YT on how this works. Very neat!
