I got a precooked chicken that was cold and large

On the receipt I noticed there was an extra charge

When I questioned the extra I was told it was tax

I reminded her there was no tax on food packs

She said if I took the tax manual and looked

I’d see there was a tax on food that was precooked

I said look a little closer it’s on food that’s hot

This was cooked this morning and it’s not

I reminded her, the extra was also over eight percent

And instead of arguing she should refund and repent

I asked her the correct tax she didn’t have a clue

She couldn’t do the old math she couldn’t do the new

I often comment openly and I’m often hostile and mad

At people who are cashiers and can’t subtract or add.
