I've always wondered why a business isn't required to collect the sales tax of the jurisdictions they're located in. For example, if I physically shop out of state, I'll end up paying whatever sales tax that state /locality sets. The only exceptions to that are high value items like cars which are subsequently titled and registered in the state you reside in.
