Taco Bell Adding Skills

Apparently Taco bell needs to learn how to add. Check this out, me and Luke went to Taco bell to grab some food before class (since he was in the area). It was only after close inspection of the 2 receipts that we discovered that there was a rounding error in the tax. Note in the photo the same exact subtotal, same store, order numbers 265 and 266 (one right after another), both paid with credit card, same subtotals: DIFFERENT TAX. Not like I care, it's just a penny, but it's still kind of funny. Sorry about the sauce, looks really nasty in the photo.


I actually asked one of my professors to explain it, and he said, "If you are honestly that worried about a penny you have bigger problems." Then he took a penny out of his pocket and said, "There, now you are square." He also said it was probably a rounding error in the software.
