CVS charging tax on pre-ECB total?

So rr's do count in tax but cvs coupons don't

I'm thinking candy is not considered food, so it is charged the 8% not the 2%. I bought fruit roll ups last night and noticed they are charged the non-food tax.

This is going to make it less lucrative to roll ECBs if you have to pay tax OOP. Looks like the days of completely free stuff are over :(
