| - GIANT RIP OFF! - It's really quite absurd, what occurred when I stopped at Giant. I was passing by and recognized it as an independent burger joint and felt compelled to support it. Well, BIG MISTAKE. My order, according to the prices posted overhead, totalled $7.95 before tax. When it came time for me to pay, the total had now ballooned to $8.63!!! What?!?!?!
Tax is 5%, last time I checked. How does 68 cents amount to 5% of $7.95?!?!?! I was so incredulous and dumbfounded, I actually counted my change several times to see If I had saw or heard wrong. Nope. When I enquired, the 50ish Asian male behind the counter, abruptly and gruffly replied: "That's the tax." I was speechless, and I'm usually vociferous and argumentative, and litigious like a lawyer chasing an ambulance. I was so stunned, however, still thinking I must have miscalculated. I returned to my vehicle, still wondering if I had committed a math error. No, you don't require third year calculus to figure out I had been swindled. I cannot even comment on how my food was, I can't remember the food entering my mouth, all I can recall, is more money than necessary leaving my wallet. DEPLORABLE!
