7% Man Tax

>Jolie Alony, who has owned the pharmacy for 22 years and lives in SoHo, said she wants men who shop at her store to understand the extra costs that women bear when they shop.
"We want to bring awareness on how it feels to be a woman, so the men actually get to feel it," she said.

>Despite what her signs say, Alony explained, men aren't actually coughing up more than they normally would at the register; rather, she's offering a 7 percent discount for women—effectively cutting out sales tax. She's still required to report all sales and pay out the sales tax in full, so, she said, she's just making up the difference herself.

>Thus far, Alony's policy hasn't raised hackles. "So far, the women are very, very happy," she said. "Men haven't complained yet, they've just laughed."
Update: After this story was published, NYC Department of Consumer Affairs wrote back to Gothamist to explain that there's no legal issue with the Thompson Chemist promotion, as there isn't a prohibition on price discrimination for goods. It is illegal, however, to discriminate in the pricing of services.

I hope someone sets up similar price discrimination for a non-PC reason (i.e. Jews are subject to a special Jew tax), ha ha.

Your dragon dildo falls under the category of goods

The crackhead you paid to shove it up your ass is performing a service

Hahaha...

Better, shop elsewhere.I agree. I just wouldn't patronize that shop. Yet, I support her right to levy any tax she chooses on whatever basis. In a true free market, it's her enterprise to nurture or destroy. Let her manage it her way. In time, the market will instruct her on the economic impact of her decision.

In a normal world, this is true. However, on craigslist, if you sell the same type of dildo more than once, it becomes a service. This makes perfect sense to the craigslist moderators who obviously are economic nit wits.
