Ever go into a mom and pop store and offer to pay cash for a discount? They waive the sales tax and keep it off the books in order to make the discount appear steeper.
How about an auto repair shop, happens all the time.

How dare you accuse anyone on this board of paying a mechanic cash to avoid sales taxes, even considering the rapacious 9% sales tax we pay in Texas! By the way, have you got change for a $50? My mechanic doesn't have any fives.
