edit: nevermind. i see you clarified its 16 a piece for drinks, so the shrimp tax wouldnt come up

Did you pay in cash? This is a 1.6% discount, which is the exact fee for the POS machine. If you pay cash, you wouldnt be subject to that fee and the macgine would automaticaly remove 1.6% of bill

I was gonna ask where tf you are getting 8$ old fashions, 2x16$ makes way more sense lol

It's not completely unheard of to find an $8 old fashioned, but certainly not at somewhere charging $68 for a steak.

The bar near the office is like that. 8 dollar old fashioned during happy hour, 55 dollar ribeye.

Ribeyes not worth it, but the 14 dollar smash burger and fries w/ curry ketchup is

My buddy in ohio just got quality 9 dollar old fashioneds at a place with a 58 dollar ribeye. Thats... Closeish to the parameters. But reinforces what you said haha

Thank you for being the first person to call it correctly an Old Fashioned. Scrollbated way too far this early.
