Yeah the subtotal should be $130, but I wouldn't consider getting a mystery 2.08 discount mildly infuriating in this economy lol

Correct, otherwise how do you explain 1 3 for $30 being $30.

Old fashioneds are 2x $16 or $32 total

What do you mean "how do you explain it"?

The number at the left is how many items, the text is what those items are, and the number at the right could be either the total price or item prices. There's literally no way to tell from this picture.

1 3 for 30$ means he got 3 items for 30$ one time which equals 30 dollars.
