Wine merchant: Yes, the wine is $20.

This whole concept has to die. I can accept taxes being broken out. But the "carrier surcharge" is just the most vague thing ever. If you ask them what it is, well, "it's the other price that's added to the advertised price to make the final price that you have to pay."
