Being a shitty warlock is a hard life.

literally me except the hitting on someone part

Just paid 350 canuck bucks for an AGM battery for a regular old RAV4.

Went to check if they were cheaper at Walmart, found they were 70-140 for a normal lead acid battery.

It popped up with an ad asking me to do a free month trial of Walmart+ or what not. I was like why would I want this. And the FIRST line wasn't about free delivery, cheaper gas prices or some shit, it was 25% percent off Burger King daily. (Guessing they say daily so you don't stand outside and give everyone 25% off on the drive thru.). But still... Why the fuck is fast food charging so much that they can afford to throw another 25% to Walmart.

To be fair, they seem to be better than they used to. My car hit 200k not too long ago and still has its original battery. I have no problems with it but I remember having much newer batteries where it was a gamble on cold mornings if it would start. Purely anecdotal though.

Don't ever buy batteries from an auto parts store. Find a hole in the wall hardware store or a rural king or something like that and you'll get them way cheaper

I just paid ~650usd for a new battery for my Toyota. Though I bought an extra expensive one to have good enough amps for starting in -40c and colder.

My guess is they had 6% sales tax and she rounded down on the output.

This comment has "what English sounds like to non-english speakers" vibes.

This is probably some US nonsense where the battery was $220 without tax, and the value at the register for the 99 batteries was with tax.

Needless to say: 🤢

5.6% sales tax?
