Serious question about losing the penny

Friend buys them at Goodwill for like $5. No way would he spend $600 for one.
I did that when my daughter went away to college in 2009. Her roommate had a flat screen TV she was given for free. The tuner was bad but they figured they could watch DVDs because it had a built in DVD player. I hooked up the VCR and they used the VCR tuner. Dorms have come a long way since I was in college. Every room has cable TV.
 
Disneyland is the only place I have seen restaurants include tax. Only reason I have even paid attention is that I am on the board of directors of a civil group that meets for lunch, and we have used three different restaurants in the past few years. We have between 40 and 100 people per lunch. The current restaurant does NOT add automatically add gratuities, nor did the one before. But the restaurant we used until before those two did, and they calculated the 18% tip on the total AFTER sales tax. That can add close to $20 to the tip just on the sales tax on a $1,000 tab. And tip is supposed to be calculated only on the cost of the food, Our Treasurer always made them recalculate it to reflect no tip on the sales tax portion of the bill.

Really? I think most restaurants in Disneyland charge sales tax, although some of the stands might have it included to simplify payments. I looked up a few more recent receipt copies, and there does appear to be separately calculated sales tax.
