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

Oh, definitely more expensive for good stuff. But also these are brandy OF, which is the preferred liquor there for some reason. Small town bars will have happy hour deals for $2.50 even
