happy hour (and anomaly)

medium lemon-berry slush; don't know the store number (it's not on the
receipt) but it's the one on nellis

i make my order and the server says, "$1.02." alarm bells ring in my
head ... i've ordered this drink 1,000 times in NV during happy hour ...
it's *always* 91 cents.

i ask for the receipt, and sure enough, someone like the instigator is
doing the math programming here. half price on $1.69 should be 85
cents, not 75. AND it kicks me up into the next tax bracket.

i call the manager on the receipt, "roberto la madrid." as with *every*
SONIC manager i've ever spoken to, he's very cordial, apologizes for the
mistake and asks me to bring the receipt back in the future for a
freebie.

thank you, roberto. thanks, SONIC!
