Pardesi Grocers 1300 S Main St, Unit K Lombard, Illinois 60148 On November 21, 2025, I made a purchase at this store. The attached receipt clearly shows that the store charged 10% tax on Hot Food and 10% tax on Non-Food items. Details of the Issue: • The store charged 10% Hot Food Tax, which appears higher than the standard rate for Lombard, IL. • The store also charged 10% tax on a Non-Food item, which is incorrect because non-food sales tax in DuPage County is normally around 8%, not 10%. • Charging the same 10% “tax” on both food and non-food items is misleading and does not match the standard Illinois sales tax structure. Purchase Summary: • Chicken Mandi × 2 • 7UP Supari Silver (48 ct) × 1 • Subtotal: $36.47 • Hot Food Tax 10%: $2.80 • Non-Food Tax 10%: $0.85 • Total Paid: $40.12 This appears to be an overcharge and possibly an incorrect application of sales tax to customers. I kindly request that your department investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with Illinois tax “I request everyone to please check your taxes and your bill carefully, because Pardesi Grocers has been overcharging customers. The taxes they charge should apply to the final total, but they are charging tax individually on each product, which is incorrect
