No, It's Just Double The Tax...

Overheard, while shopping the 25% off sale at The Gap:

"Is it 25% off each item or 25% off the total purchase of these items on sale?"


Response to overheard, from Gap Saleslady:

"Off each item!"

  1. #1, shopping at the GAP is not shopping at Nordstrom. IQ points are not necessarily a job requirement at the GAP.

    #2, it depends on which state because in some states the % off comes off after sales tax. Some states it comes off BEFORE.

  2. But 25% off each item or 25% off the total purchase is still 25% off...is it not? Did I fail math that badly?

  3. 25% off the total purchase before or after tax? I'm just being picayunish about it.

    It really is (was) a dumb question. And the answer is pretty dumb too.

  4. 25% off is 25% off, whether it's per item or the total!
