Once I was long-distance cycling in the USA during the summer, and rather fond of chocolate shakes. Somewhere at a fast food place, I got asked if I was eating in or taking out. I asked what the difference was—it seemed incongruous to ask on such an item when that’s the entirety of the order. My curiosity was rewarded: apparently there was an extra tax in that city on one or the other; so I did whichever was cheaper (and honestly, either drinking it inside, or sitting on my trike).
I even came across taxes that were only present in half a city, even—one side of a road but not the other, that kind of thing.
