Tax Free Days in North Carolina

I have to give a warning to everyone in North Carolina trying to take advantage of the Tax Free Shopping days this weekend. My wife was out today and stopped in the Dillards department store in Raleigh. She went to but my daughter some underwear and when she got to the register she was charged tax. My wife could not believe it. Later she went back to the store with the printout of what items are tax free. Even though the documentation clearly states that underwear falls under this category, they insist that the list did not include children's underwear! How ridiculous is that to say that adult underwear is tax free but kids underwear is not?! Also, according to how they set the descriptions in their computer system, the underwear comes up as Accessories. Someone will need to explain to me how something that is worn everyday under your clothes can be considered an accessory. My wife did speak to an assistant manager who was going to speak to the store manager who would be in on Monday but I think that it is only right to warn everyone now that Dillards has these problems. I hope that this can be resolved fairly, it could just be a mistake in what was entered in the computer system. If not then they are trying to do some shady business and should not get away with it.
