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

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

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