NY[1] (and I think many states) often exempt services from sales tax. A "rush service" fee would be something I would think falls under a professional service exempt from sales tax. Apple's retail ProCare service used to give you "front of the line" on repairs, and to the best of my knowledge was not a taxed transaction. This would to me be the same sort of thing.
