    $10 + $7 + $2 or $3 = $19 or $20. Sales tax would be less than a dollar. Anon’s unhealthy lifestyle is causing cognitive decline

      sales tax would be less than a dollar

      Entirely locality dependent. Where I live, tax on a $20 tab would be a little under $2. I know there’s some municipalities where it’d be as high as $2.40.

      So, sure, technically still not $25, but once you need more than a $20 bill, it’s not obscene to round up to the nearest $5.

        Where I’m at, I’m pretty sure sales taxes aren’t assessed on the fees, only on the product

      you see, the delivery fee is $7, but then you also have to pay $5 in “other fees”, whatever that means

        Probably an “online convenience fee,” as if it’s more work to have an order print up at the restaurant than to make someone there take a phone call.
