According to the math I was taught, 20% would be $4.01; quite a difference. Maybe it's that newer Common Core math????
At any rate, don't take the calculations at the bottom of a bill for granted. I called the manager and he said the problem will be corrected. If it hasn't been the next time I visit, I will publish the name of the restaurant.

OP, Others might disagree but I think you did the right thing by giving this restaurant the benefit of doubt. It could be a computer program error. It’s hard to believe that a manager wouldn’t be smart enough to know that a customer wouldn’t do the math and be upset with the situation. Thanks, and keep us posted.
