I am in the Local 1996 area and we are seeing an increase in customers using "Shipt" instead of Instacart for their delivery purchases. Only one problem-with Shipt you are automatically made "tax free" - even if the purchases are for your own personal use. People are using it to avoid paying the sales tax-isn't that considered illegal?
In WA State customers are no longer eligible for tax exceptions at the register. They must send their receipts into the irs for a redemption. Cashiers can now get written up for pressing the tax except button because you'd basically be giving them money. I don't make the rules I just enforce them when I'm on duty. My job is more important than a customer throwing a hissy fit yelling screaming fiesta over some $2.00 bull ****.
