This is a picture of a single gang EMT box, which is the kind of electrical box that a light switch is mounted to. This one is $1.90 to purchase, and there is a stupid option to buy it on credit for "4 easy payments of $0.48"

    I remember visiting my family in Brasil some 20 years ago. Lots of stores had their own financing-long-term offers. People would then continue buying without bothering with details, each buy would add to a total sum.

    There's no way to check if the total amount was correct, without including the % they had to pay for the credit, which changed every month.

    A tedious task most people didn't bother with.
