Irish You Would Just Pay And Leave
Many years ago, this little old man in a full cassock and collar came up to my register with a purchase. I engage in the usual pleasantries, and he answered in the thickest brogue I had ever heard. Cute as heck. I rang him up and told him his total. He looked at the receipt and his face changed.
Customer: *Angrily* “Why have I been charged sales tax?”
Me: “Oh, do you have a resale card? If you’ll give it to me, I can take the tax off.”
He gave me an exasperated look.
Customer: “Priests don’t pay sales tax!”
He was no longer cute.
Me: “Maybe not in Ireland, but in America, we have the separation of church and state. Everyone pays sales tax.”
He huffed, paid, and doddered out.
