ME: No.
SC: NO WHAT?!?!
ME: No to what you said.
SC: Are you stupid?
ME: No.
SC: Stop saying NO!!!!!!!
ME: Okay.

Personally I'd have said no again just to see if her head exploded...

was she wearing a tin foil hat?

no tax? sorry, sweetie, not unless you belong to an exempt group or do things *cough* under the table.

Well, in her defense, she may have lived in a tax-free state her entire life.

and the 'tax' that comes out of her paycheck goes straight to her boss.

according to conspiracy lady that came in 10 minutes ago.

She comes in to ask about room rates. I give her the rates for a couple different types of rooms. Then the conversation really begins...

SC: And what about the $10 or so you tag on to the price?
ME: I don't seem to understand what you mean.
SC: You know, tax.
ME: Yes, tax is applied to all room sales unless you are exempt.
SC: So what percentage is this "tax"? (she even did the quotation motion with her fingers, the bunny ears)
ME: 12.5%...so you weren't that far off with the $10 guess.
SC: And how many people are "tax exempt"? (again, she did the motion)
ME: Well, a lot, Churches, Schools, Government employees, Veterans...
SC: I thought so *rolls eyes*
ME: .....................................
SC: You guys sure are quick.
ME: .................................. *now with confused look on face*
SC: You really want me to believe that this "tax" you are collecting is actually for the government?
ME: Yes *again, confused look on face*
SC: BULLSHIT!!!! All of you corporations work with the government and use this "tax" as an excuse to charge poor people more money for a damn room.
ME: No.
SC: NO WHAT?!?!
ME: No to what you said.
SC: Are you stupid?
ME: No.
SC: Stop saying NO!!!!!!!
ME: Okay.
SC: I'm not paying the "tax", tell your government friends that.
ME: Well, unless you have a tax exempt ID from a Church, School...
SC: *walks out in a huff*

I am willing to bet that her husband normally pays for stuff...
