Home Depot: We fixed our Maryland sales tax glitch

Maryland's sales tax went from 5 percent to 6 percent on Thursday. (Although often it's a little more than 6 percent. See this post.) A few stores did not make a smooth transition, apparently. I got a couple emails from readers who said they were overcharged a few cents at Home Depot stores. One was the Whitemarsh store. I queried Home Depot about this.

Spokeswoman Anne Manning said that there was a problem at "a small few" stores and that it has been fixed. "We were able to quickly work out any issues with our point-of-sale process by Friday," she says. "We have not received any further customer complaints and believe the issue is resolved. If you hear otherwise, please let me know."

If YOU hear otherwise, please let ME know.
