Going to Dunkin Donuts, ordering a few bagels that are not prepared but just placed in a bag to bring home.....tax is charged!
Clarification is in order concerning these practices.
Would you rather pay a state income tax? In Maryland, we had a State Income tax as well as County Income tax which was 60 percent of the State Income tax. I like Florida!

Tip on the pre-tax amount. It really is not too hard to figure 20 percent, is it?
