Tax Holiday

The tax holiday appears simple: [Today], any item costing $2,500 or less is exempt from the state's 5 percent sales tax.

Not so sure about this one. They did this in New York, during the "back to school shopping" time of year. However, in NY clothing is taxed. So, everybody waited to save on kids' clothes. This appears to be a retailers nightmare, as far as swarms of uninformed crowds.

It was the "uninformed masses" factor that drove me out of retail. I liked the plan-o-grams, merchandising, even helping the nicer customers. The ones that INSIST they are entitled to a bargain are the harder ones to deal with.

We are moving (again!) today, so I may not have time for shopping. We shall see.
