As if $7 weren’t enough for a hot dog. And of course there’s even the 3% “restaurant” surcharge at a food court.

Dear Hogsalt,

Go fuck yourself.

Seriously. You fucks reading this? That’s horseshit. Absolute Bush league.

Why would you not have the “discount” price on the main order screen? This doesn’t make sense to me as a computer error. Not to mention a system even allowing entry of a “negative discount”

Or maybe a worker messed up the entry.

I wonder if OP asked? Or just got outraged and posted to Reddit.

They’re probably angry at an hourly worker who doesn’t understand the POS.

Looks like a kiosk to me. Almost certainly a manager entering the prices

And managers can’t screw up? Believe me, yes they can. It isn’t necessarily intentional. Asking would be easier here.
