Two gentlemen at check out this morning. Now, bare in mind that Texas is just like all the other states; we have a shit load of taxes. Harris County (I.E. Houston city limits) has:
State Taxes
City Sales Taxes
County Taxes
and a Sports Tax = totaling 17%
Unless you have federal paperwork proving you are tax exempt, you pay for all taxes. No matter what.
I'm sorry to say (for it's insulting to the rest of them) that these guys are Stupid Hicks.
H1/2 = Hick 1 and Hick 2.
Me: Smarter then you.
It started out like a regular check out this morning. I'll save you the pleasantries and questions so I can get on to the good part.
Me: <confirms name, room, prints recipt, no you don't need to sign, that's your copy to keep, blah blah blah.>
H1: When did Texas get a State Tax?
Me:

H1: We've never paid state.
H2: <shakes his head in agreement>
Me: Well, unless you have a tax exempt form, I can't not charge you taxes. Maybe you're thinking of income tax? Texas is one of the 5 states that doesn't have an income tax.
H2: <folds receipt> That's okay, it's a company card so it's not like we're paying for it.
*leaves*
Me: I'm not that stupid, dingus.
