full sales tax on discounted items, why???

ok the coupon treated as cash, explains it to a point I understand it, very very much disagree with it, but i can understand it. I can only agree with it if the coupon says actual cash value is the amount of the discount not 1/20th of a cent (which many coupons are marked).
the point that the store rings up the amount then deducts the coupon after the total, that doesn’t make sense since the reciept shows they took in less.

Sailor, glad to see no hard feelings on the wind powered screw driven watercraft - you the captain and on board I will call it a sailboat, but when I’m in my own boat and see you comming, don’t expect me to yeild right of way.
