I don’t think the employees programmed the cash register or credit card machine that generated this.
Anyway, I wonder if they are attempting to calculate the tip on the sub-total plus tax? Trouble is, that would mean tax was something like 40%. Maybe they meant to use 4%?
The tips seem to be calculated against $27.67 which is about 30% more than the printed total. It could be the case that there was a happy hour special or some other discount, and the tip was calculated prior to that discount.
They’re all about 7/5 higher than they should be. (28.5% instead of 20%, 25.6% instead of 18, 21.4% instead of 15%).
… They’re dividing by 70, but fuck knows why.
I think it’s genius!
Addition to Jim’s comment:
It is standard to tip on the original value of the food and not the value after a coupon or timed special. Many people tend to ignore this and tip only on the amount spent.
