I forget exactly how much prices were supposed to go up, but just for an example, at my place 12'ers were supposed to go up around $3, and we were told to put em up by $5-6. They did this on basically everything. The topper was we then had to tape signs on the till saying prices were increased due to the provincial budget, and if you have a problem with it, consult your local MLA. In other words, they took advantage of a situation and then pawned off the blame on someone else.
That's why I was so curious to see what we'd do when the tax got rescinded yesterday. Our company's so stingy that I was wondering if they'd even do it. I'm still curious how far they'll lower it, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't fully bring them back down to pre-tax levels. My guess is it'll be somewhere in between.
