Tsk on tax

Carpundit reports getting a break on a $6,000 table yesterday because the store didn't charge him sales tax - even though the upper limit was supposed to be $2,500:

... Oh well, that's their problem. So I guess we saved about $325, give or take.

Ed. note: Even I went on a shopping frenzy. In Best Buy to pick up some paper CD sleeves (yes, I lead a truly exciting life), I saw a DVD of "Spaceballs" on sale for $9.99. Whoa, how could I resist its siren call with that mighty 50-cent sales-tax saving? And never mind my wife saying "But you've already seen that!" But the best break of the day came at BBQ Town in Roslindale where, after the help gave our takeout order away to somebody else, the owner gave me a $10 bill - about a 33% break (and then yelled heartily at the kitchen crew in some foreign language). It almost makes me wish I could recommend the place for its ribs, but I can't, because there was almost no meat on them (the chicken, however, was very good).
