I don't buy logo apparel clothing. it's maybe a $40 shirt from Bealls with a embroidered $69 logo.

You can buy a 750 ml bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label at Total Wine for $230, which will yield about 17, 1.5 ounce shots.

17 shots x $60 = $1,020
$1,020 - $230 = $790 gross profit

From that $790 you need to deduct the the direct labor costs (which unfortunately have been very high to attract labor from a shrinking pool), percentage of overhead costs (including rent, utilities, insurance, maintenance, taxes, etc), percentage of fringe benefits (health, life, 401k, if any of these apply), and percentage of general and administrative costs like business management, hostess, etc. There is always a higher profit margin in alcohol sales, but the profit surely ain't $790 per bottle of whiskey. And, I'm certainly not suggesting $60 for a shot of whiskey is reasonable. I wouldn't pay that no way, no how. Precisely why I don't drink :)

Should have been followed by : This was a paid announcement by the owners or their few friends.

The Frenchy's employee announced the amount due - I passed over $20 and was expecting a return of change.

Frenchy's employee placed my cash in the drawer and closed it without missing a beat. Never said anything about their NO coin change provided policy.

I didn't bother saying anything cause I wasn't going to sweat the .64. My initial thought was he forgot to provide the change...followed by he made a decision to auto-tip himself.

It wasn't until I returned to retrieve the pizza that I saw the no change sign on the counter way opposite of the register.

I'm going with robbery.

Sorry you were so nice. Most folks would do as you did and not make a fuss over a measly 64 cents. I am not most people. I would have called them out and explained to the management in front of the waiting customers why what they are doing is theft. There is a principle here and is shining a spotlight on a lack of honesty and integrity.
