McDonald's Tax

I don't go to McDonald's very often, but check this out. McDonald's has it's own taxes.

Look there. Below the sub-total. Eat In Tax: $.48. They charge you extra for eating in the building. Finding reasons for it, I guess it could make sense. They are suppose to wipe the tables down, and I'd hate to be in charge of cleaning those bathrooms. Yikes.

What gets me, though, is, there's no consequence for ordering to-go and then staying. You could stay all all day long and avoid the $.48. Rub your kids snotty boogers anywhere and everywhere the whole live long day and not pay their little eat-in tax.

Now $.48. is not a lot, but imagine how quickly it adds up after "billions and billions" are served.

Hold up. That's the only tax there is. Maybe their eat-in tax is another word for regular tax. It is about a 5.06% tax. Hmmmm. This may require some more investigating into McDonald's.
