So I made a purchase around Christmas time and the tax was 8%. When I went for the return today, I noticed that they gave me less money and they said that's because the taxes are now 7.75% in 2017.
I didn't know that orange county taxes decreased, which is good news. But I also didn't know that when you have the receipt the store can give you less money back on returns. Because I have purchased items in higher tax county areas like Los Angeles, and when I return the items to lower tax county areas like orange county, I still get the full amount paid back. The associate probably wasn't trained right to over ride the tax.
