I wonder if the "No Change" place would accept your $19. on a $19.64 order? I bet the .64 is important to them then.

Once upon a time, I went to a bakery in Laguna Beach, CA. The state law is that groceries and take-out food items are NOT taxed. Probably the only thing on God's green earth that California doesn't tax. Anyhow, the guy at the bakery charged me tax on my to-go item. I pointed it out to him. He said his accountant told him to just charge tax on everything because it was easier (for them) that way. I never returned to that bakery.
Back in 1970, when I was in high school, I worked at a McDonald's in Cincinnati. At that time Ohio did not tax take out orders. We were told NOT to ask if it was "to go". If a customer didn't specify, we were to charge the tax. Most of the time they got away with it, and if they didn't, it was just the poor schlub (i.e. me and my fellow schlubs) who took the angry brunt of the customers.
Nothing surprises me about this.
