Guest Redhawk Report post Posted May 24, 2002 I've been going to McDonald's for years, and my friend pointed out to me the other day that you get charged extra for getting your order "to go." I looked on my receipt, and sure enough, there was a 56-cent "Take-out tax." Has anyone else seen this? When did they start that? And why? I know those bags can't cost THAT much.

Guest Invader3k Report post Posted May 24, 2002 Hmmm...I have never seen this...then again I don't usually get a receipt when I go to McDonald's. I'll have to check next time I go there (which really isn't that often). Anyone else see anything like this? It seems pretty ludicrous that they would discourage people from using the drive through.

Guest starvenger Report post Posted May 25, 2002 I've never had that happen. As far as I know the prices are consistent inside and out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted May 25, 2002 Yep, I've noticed that take-out tax on McDonald's slips. I've also noticed a dine-in tax on some other ones. The times I felt like asking what this tax was for, the manager in charge didn't look too capable of answering my question. All in all, it's probably just another way the government wants to take from your wallet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted May 27, 2002 I can tell you they don't do it in Tennessee, so it must be a state or county tax and not a federal one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
