No, but as a consumer, shouldn't we have the right to be informed? I am paying my hard earned dollars, surely I have the right to know.
That's a rather romantic view of mom-and-pop retail, not transnational, industrial-scaled retailing.

I am pretty sure that there is not a single person on this thread sufficiently informed to know the "true cost" of everything they will buy today.

That information is available at the cash register, it is arrived at by the retailer who knows his or her cost and decides the level of mark up needed to keep the doors open and provide a living for him and his family. Given that there is more than one independent retailer there will likely be more than one mark up evaluation and subsequently retail price.
