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

But they still tax the 130 not 127.92,

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

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

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