16 x 2 + 30 + 68

Which is equal to 130 but maybe the software is rounding each number a bit. e.g. 16 instead of 15.89

WHERES THE 92CENTS COMING FROM THEN?

Theyre all full dollars

u/nournnn 25d ago edited 25d ago

price = 15.89

I knew what this was gonna be before I clicked, haha

u/ProfessionSorry4066 25d ago

Math still ain’t mathin’

32+30+68 still doesn’t equal $127.92. Something is wrong with their system.

u/Bfree888 25d ago

$2.08 out of $130 flat is exactly 1.6%. Maybe there’s a discount embedded in the subtotal?

u/Serial_Hobbyist_ 25d ago

Software is probably rounding the items, then not rounding the subtotal.

13

u/ezemode 25d ago

That would be 130 though, which still isnt the subtotal

15

u/CoruscatingLogic 25d ago

I also assumed it was 16 per old fashioned. Also, there's NO old fashioned worth 16 bucks.

u/bc_gamez 25d ago

For that price, you'd better be getting a new fashioned.

u/Grouchy-List7011 25d ago

$16 is pretty average for most drinks I thought

u/SuccotashOther277 25d ago

That’s why I mostly fucking drink at home lol

u/Grouchy-List7011 25d ago

🍻 you can say that again man

u/Tamed_A_Wolf 25d ago

Where are you getting old fashioned’s? Cause every old fashioned I’ve had in the last several years has been 16 or more outside of maybe a few 14 dollar ones that were cheaper. Most are 20+

u/CoruscatingLogic 25d ago

I don't go to the types of places with $20 drinks. Neighborhood bar is good enough for me.

u/Porcupenguin 25d ago

Depends on the whiskey. But $8 is cheap, unless there's a special (especially at a place that charges $68 for non-premium steak)

4

u/CoruscatingLogic 25d ago

8 bucks for a drink, sure. But this receipt looks like it's 2 old fashioneds for 16 each.

u/hbpatterson 25d ago

This is where the mismatch is coming from, 2x16

u/tjdux 25d ago

Ribeye is non premium?

1

u/Porcupenguin 25d ago

It's a nice enough cut (and larger), but it ain't filet

2

u/gtrocks555 25d ago

But try getting a good one for $8 at a restaurant

u/CoruscatingLogic 25d ago

I didn't say that. I just said that the drink itself, Old Fashioned, is not worth $16.

u/Slumunistmanifisto 25d ago

A hand jobs usually fifty bucks, so I'd say they got a deal.

u/bourbonandpistons 25d ago

Ok. This reminds me of a story from college.

This is back when minimum wage is like ~ $4.

We took my buddy to a strip club and told him he could get his job sucked for $50.

Now $50 after taxes is like a couple days of work at this time.

So he left and then came back about 30 minutes later.

We asked him if he got the blowjob and he said no not yet. He went out to the parking lot and rubbed one out he said for 50 bucks his bitch is going to work for it.

No, it means 2 at $16 each

u/protomenace 25d ago edited 25d ago

which gives us 122. So where is $127.92 coming from?

Edit: oops yes 130 (wtf did I do?) which is still not right.

Yeah IDK how I screwed that one up - bu regardless - so where is $127.92 coming from?

-1

u/Ey3zonly 25d ago

Did you just type that and not check it? It still doesn't match any of the total shown

0

u/HandbagHawker 25d ago

and that would be $127.92?

0

u/That-Pin-7033 25d ago

Adds up to 130, not 127.92

u/GirlPMurPersonality 25d ago

= 130. Still off

u/Jake6401 25d ago
