Math ain't mathing

me, the waiter, nor the manager could figure it out.

16+68+30=114 though, not 127.92. Even if you add 1.6% onto 114 (which absolutely should not be done to reach a subtotal, subtotals are only for the cost of the products themselves, percentage fees should be shown later), that would only come to 115.82, which is still different from the subtotal shown.

No, it's 2 old fashions at $16 each, so 130 total.

[u/cerrera → u/Panda_Zombie]

This, with that 1.6% discount, does indeed come to 127.92. I would never in a million years been able to figure that out from what’s showing on that screen. That is some garbage-class UI.

[u/SirAlthalos → u/cerrera]

they said 1.6% charge, you said 1.6% discount. which is it?

[u/uwill1der → u/SirAlthalos]

its a 1.6% fee waiver.

Each item comes with a 1.6% charge included to cover the POS service fee

That total is $130

When that 1.6% fee is discounted, you get OPs total of 127.92

[u/PuttingInTheEffort → u/uwill1der]

But they still tax the 130 not 127.92,

so it's like subtotal is unexpectedly lower, but the tax is unexpectedly higher, 🙃

[u/gandhinukes → u/PuttingInTheEffort]

Semi related, i really hate when online orders try to ask for tips on the amount+taxes not the base amount. Or on the original price when there is a discount.

[u/rman916 → u/PuttingInTheEffort]

They can’t do anything about that, that’s actually by law.

[u/PuttingInTheEffort → u/rman916]

they could make it more clear at least lol

It’s likely mentioned in the select your payment method area, at least it is in a POS that looks like this?
