Working at The Blouse, I've noticed that some women ask for their items to be non-taxable, even though it's clear that the items are not for someone under 15. It's comical.
For example, I had one lady come in and try on a matching suit jacket and skirt for about half an hour. Seriously, she spent forever posing in front of the mirror debating. It looked good I thought. She came to the till and asked for non-taxable because it was for her daughter. Riiiiiight, because the suit combos are oh so popular with the kids these days. Ha. Not to mention it is important for a mom to try on her child's suit for half an hour first. Hmmm.
It gets better. Another lady who was about 32ish came in with her 50ish year old mother to help her shop. The older lady was about a size large and the younger lady was about a size small. Anyway, the younger lady came to the till with two items of large clothing that the older lady had tried on. "Can I get these non-taxable please?" To which I replied, "For sure, how old are you?" Shocked, she looked up, "Ugghhhh, uhhhh eleven." I think I actually laughed out loud. I considered asking her which elementary school she went to, but I figured I'd bite my tongue on that one. Since when do 11 year olds wear fake eyelashes, acrylic nails, and learn how to do their make up perfectly? While she was still at the till, an eightish year old girl came up to the counter and addressed her as "Mom." It was priceless.
Why not spend the extra few bucks and save your integrity?
