I walked up to the counter with my five dollar bill in hand. My "I'll have that to go, please" line rehearsed and at the ready. Sandwichista:<blockquote>"That'll be 5.38"</blockquote> RTOI:<blockquote>"What? The sign reads $4.99 and I ordered it to go"</blockquote> Sandwichista:<blockquote>"Yes, but you ordered a #9 (Hot Pastrami) which is a hot food and all hot food is taxed whether it is ordered for here or to go"</blockquote> Argh. Next time Gadget, NEXT TIME! I had lunch at Togo’s again today. I walked up to the counter with my five dollar bill in hand. My “I’ll have that to go, please” line rehearsed and at the ready.

Sandwichista:

“That’ll be 5.38″

RTOI:

“What? The sign reads $4.99 and I ordered it to go”

Sandwichista:

“Yes, but you ordered a #9 (Hot Pastrami) which is a hot food and all hot food is taxed whether it is ordered for here or to go”

Argh. Next time Gadget, NEXT TIME!

"But they charge you sales tax on that!" AquaciseMom said. It’s *this* Sunday :)
