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

Most bars selling top shelf scotch give a better pour than just a jigger.

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

I calculated the gross profit, not net profit.

Country Club pricing but mall food court quality. Small portions served on paper with plastic utensils.

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.

I would have politely requested the change and if they told me the policy would have told the employee what I thought of it.

There is a principle here and is shining a spotlight on a lack of honesty and integrity.

I don't disagree with your approach - it provides a form of immediate relief/notification/awareness. But I don't think that gets you any farther then my approach. End of day both of us won't return and the employee who receives your position will do nothing about changing the current policies/procedures.

A few folks surrounding the discussion will get some degree of insight as to what's going on... and I could be wrong here... but I feel way more folks will gain a better sense of the whole concept via this post on TOTV.
