You’ll pay the sales tax when you register it.

IOW, have the seller make a bill of sale for less than what you paid.

I think that's fraud

If you own/work for a business that has positions that pay $20/hr or less

Delivery driver/store associates. $18-$19/hr. I don't expect them to stay long term. They are sometimes over 25.

I think there will be a place for good fast food, but that depends on the franchisee as much as the company

KingDave

Franchise owners and chains need to be careful. If their quality and service suffers people will find better options.
