Couple buying tomatoes. She puts them on scale to weigh them.
He says, "They are .99 a pound, and you have one and a half pounds. That'll be about...two dollars."
Math is your friend, baws.

Tomato tariffs are tough business.

$1.49, plus tax of about 6 to 10 cents. I think you may be finding flaw in an ole boy rounding up.

.99 x 1.5 = 1.485
plus
EBR sales tax rate 10% x 1.485 = .1485
$1.64 = about two dollars

Unprepared food isn’t taxed.
Posted on 4/6/18 at 8:00 pm to FightinTigersDammit
I've seen nicer tomatoes on the quad
Posted on 4/6/18 at 8:01 pm to Btrtigerfan
Except food is taxed at a lower rate (around 4%)

Where are these cheap tomatoes? I wanna stick it to SWB.

I would pay 2 dollars for a single southern tomato right now. They suck in the NW.

Do you have any other stories Oweo
Posted on 4/6/18 at 8:06 pm to Btrtigerfan
Y’all pay tax on food in grocery stores in LA? That must suck.

Who the hell weighs their produce anymore?
Posted on 4/6/18 at 8:08 pm to FightinTigersDammit
When I'm shopping and on a budget, I always round up to next dollar.
It's the smart thing to do.

in louisiana, unprepared food is exempt from state tax, but not city and parish taxes.
