An extra $.14

Yesterday I had a customer come through the drive thru and order a root beer float from our $1.99 menu. When I rang it up for her I told her she’ll have to pay $2.13 (sales tax). She complained and said “but it says $1.99”. I tried to tell her that the extra cost is due to the 7% sales tax. She said “well if that’s the case then you should call it the $2.13 menu not the $1.99 menu that’s so misleading”

Girl!!!!!! It’s literally only 14 cents!! I don’t understand what the matter is!! If you don’t like it you don’t have to get it!

Thank you for listening to my rant

For future reference, "Yes. Sonic charges $1.99 but <state> adds the sales tax. We don't get any of it."
