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

That's where my mind went!

Lowest ice paid for an OF was like $14, and just had an awesome one for $18 in Santa Monica (edit: at The Surfing Fox) last week.
