Dunkin Donuts
Sales Tax Ripoff

According to NJ tax document S&U-4 (you can Google it) "coffee, beans, packaged, instant is exempt from NJ sales tax. At four different Dunkin Donuts (so far) they charge tax. Store personnel use the excuse that their checkout system automatically adds it and there is nothing they can do about it. I showed the manager at the Dunkin Donuts on 503 Rt. 23 in Pequannock, NJ the document and he refunded me the tax. He stated that they will change their system in the next few days.

The question is: is this a scam or an error? Personally I think it's a scam. On an individual basis it might seem petty but customer after customer is being "clipped" on this phony tax. If you go to the Dunkin Donuts web site and order coffee to be shipped to NJ, there is no tax added.

Dunkin Donuts corporate told me they have no control over what their individual franchisees charge, etc.

New Jersey customers should be aware of this bogus tax.
