We are a store connected to a warehouse that sells a lot (and I mean a LOT) of mechanical items. Therefore, our prices are calculated strangely and aren’t the clean $X.99 you’ll find in most stores. A customer comes up to me holding an item and asks for a price check. The machine scans the item, and it comes to $6.66.
Customer: “Oh, no, no, no! No, nope! That’s not happening! It’s a sign. I can’t buy it.”
Me: “That’s the price without the state and sales tax, sir. With it, the total is $7.13.”
Customer: “Oh… good! Yes, I’ll take it, then. Just make sure you apply that… that Jesus tax.”
