It's a conspiracy, it's the new girl, it's, it's,.... they're trying to screw us....

One of my suppliers made a delivery Friday afternoon. At some point after the office was closed I looked at the invoice and noticed what appears to be a bizarre amount of tax. I knew they had also made a delivery to my somewhat paranoid friend up the road so I called and asked him to take a look at his invoice. Yep, they got him too. Monday is a holiday so it will be Tuesday before I can get an answer as to why it appears they went from charging 5.5% tax to suddenly charging 14%

My friend called this morning and I answered thinking he must be at my shop needing help unloading something. No, he's been busy going through his invoices for last few months trying to figure how much he has overpaid, and when the old secretary retired and when we started dealing with the new girl. It's worrying him, and it's gonna keep worrying him until the office opens Tuesday morning.

I bet by the time I call Tuesday they will already know what I'm calling about and I bet they will already have me an answer. Who knows, the secretary may recognize my number and have the owner answer the call. I'm sure I'll be hearing more from my friend between now and then.
