I found my old GameStop receipt from 2006 in my GameCube games.

Man this brings back memories of simpler times.

That's a fucking wild bill if you are not from the US. One would almost think you are being scammed (I am talking about the deceptive structure of the bill, not the values).

The weird discount application and the sales taxes.

The sales tax always drove me nuts (and in total I loved in North America for a decade), I could never get it over it.

Where I live we just get an item list (with true cost per item) and a subtotal.

Guessing it's the sales tax? Most countries will price things with tax included, not add it on afterwards.
