Had a lady last night, who was nice through her multiple transactions. Had one that was tax exempt. No big deal, except for asking if she could take a tax exempt form home with her and fill it out there (I guess... but, your purchase is here, now, right?). Until afterward, when she started asking me questions.
"Is there some way I can apply for tax exempt here?"
*blink, blink* "I'm pretty sure that's a government decision, it is not in the power of my store to give you that."
"No, no, I mean, can this be used for other things?"
"What? You mean like using the stuff you purchased in ways that aren't related to the tax exempt institution? I believe that would depend on the institute's rules, since, as long as we get the information, and it goes through, I could care less, basically."
"Quit answering the wrong question!"
Quit asking them.
"I want to know if there's a way to sign up for a card or something that will allow me to just show it to you and not have to fill out the tax exempt form every time."
"Oh, in that case, no, there's not. Our system isn't designed that way. You will have to fill out the form every time."
"F***."
Not with you.
