Back to school
Aug. 9th, 2022 02:37 pmOh, not me. This past weekend was tax free weekend. Clothing and school supplies were tax free as long as they are under $100 per item. The clothes can be from baby up to adult. It just has to be something you wear for every day. Shoes tax free, shoes with cleats like football or golf not. Diapers for babies and adults are tax free. The details vary from state to state.
So we were swamped in store and for drive up. One order had 500 items of school supplies. Must have been a school or church. It was a drive up order. Took two workers to load and carry out the order. Once we receive notice the person has arrived, we have three minutes to get it to the car. So stress was had all weekend.
But wait, on Monday the returns started. People often buy several sizes and the return those that don't fit. If you want a different size, now you have to pay tax on the new item since tax free is over. That goes over big time.
Now onto Halloween and then Christmas!
