It is a Sales Tax - not a Buyers Tax. But you should give us some details about the conversation.Quote:

It is a nifty swindle because the Buyer will never win an argument about double dipping when said Buyer does not set the retail price.Quote:

I offered a $10 off $20 coupon, and the 11.61 balance was paid with something called STAPLES REWARDS. A kind of store-dollars or store-currency that had accumulated to $25.
To me this indicates the tax is tied to what is offered or used to purchase the retail items. Note: NOT Federal Reserve currency.
Thank you for explaining.
