First it's beverages they want to tax, then it's something else. You should never vote for taxes. Wake up.

I've seen a few posts where people have mentioned being charged tax, or the dealer said they were going to give someone a "deal" and not charge them any tax. I'm pretty sure this isn't just in NY where I am.
I mentioned in another thread about an incident a few weeks back in my local Wally World, where the employees were charging everyone tax. I called them on it, and they started to give me crap, saying everything gets taxed.
Funny thing...as soon as I asked them to get the store manager, they backed right down. I think the "tax" $ was going into somebody's pockets.
Be aware everyone!
EDIT: If anyone DID get charged tax, and you still have the receipt/charge slip, go back and demand your tax $ back...don't let them get away with it!

HarmanP68 said:Schenectady does NOT have a tax on pellets as of today 1/29 because there are stores there you can still buy them with NO tax..so it seems funny that this Glenville Walmarts is charging more per bag than any other Walmart(+ 00.25) in the surrounding counties AND adds a 4% sales tax..its pooppoopie I tell ya....DOWN WITH THE MAN!hehehe
I should have said NOT ALL of Schenectady County has sales tax on pellets..just everywhere that I've bought them so far(been alot) .. EXCEPT GLENVILLE NY WALMART...so you are right they do have a 4%sales tax but nowhere that Ive bought them for 2 years has ever charged tax or has yet..EXCEPT GLENVILLE NY WALMARTS.....macman said:HarmanP68 said:Schenectady does NOT have a tax on pellets as of today 1/29 because there are stores there you can still buy them with NO tax..so it seems funny that this Glenville Walmarts is charging more per bag than any other Walmart(+ 00.25) in the surrounding counties AND adds a 4% sales tax..its pooppoopie I tell ya....DOWN WITH THE MAN!hehehe
Well, if you can find a store that's NOT charging tax, so much the better, but here's the state sales tax info....according to that, there IS tax on wood fuel in Schenectady County....look at Part 2:
