I thought that you didn't get charged tax if you were ordering something to be shipped from a different state.
If they have a retail location in the ship location, they have to charge tax.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Boo! Then they shouldn't charge me shipping! I would go to the store, but they don't have it in the store. it's not my fault! I want my $1.19 back!

What ChiKat said. It doesn't matter where they ship from, just whether or not they have a location.
But yeah, you should be able to have it shipped to the store for no cost. I've run into that frustration before.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Anyone else been hit on by a total stranger on Facebook? I got this friend request from some random guy saying he's looking for friends or something. Ridiculously enough, one of the things that most bugs me is his complement about my "beautiful smile" when my profile pic has (as many of you can vouch) at best, a smirk. Anyone else ever have this happen and be, I dunno, legit? Or always skeevy?
I'm not on FB, but I'm on another social network (Couchsurfing), and it happens there too. In fact, I think it's a part of every social network. In CS we can report it as spam, and after several warnings and complaints the person will be kick out of it. I never used it, for my confidence in the network comes mostly from the way I behave in it - as in, the very frank, specific and short answer they'll get if they've fooled me to think they're legit.
I can be mean.

Aims, your mother is hysterical.
smonster, I am looking appropriately shocked. (I never kissed a boy, not even at two-and-a-half. I did have a best friend who was a boy in primary school and my father disapproved. He really shouldn't have worried.)

If I go to the store and pay for it, I can have it sent to the store and not pay shipping. I thanked the guy and declined, and thought "fuck it, my time is worth the $5". If I could have ordered it over the phone and gone to pick it up, I would have considered it, but not to have to go to the store twice.

At least your president seems like a fairly good bloke. Cameron... isn't. Oh, sod it. I'm moving to America.

I woke up with a cat on my head. No, really.
I have a massive headache, but it is sunny, and I am going to go to the grocery store. I am blaming the headache on the cat.
