Default Sales tax or no sales tax???

I have been a Panera and Dunkin Donut customer for many years. Many times I purchase bagels that are uncut and placed in a bag. This brings up my question...Sales tax is charged for these items. If I purchase them at Publix or Sweet Bay, no sales tax is applied to the purchase.
I sent an email to one of our Florida politicians however, I never received an answer to my question. I have asked the cashier at the stores and the reply I received, "the computer sets the tax". So, what's the story???
