Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)

Same thing happened to me at Sonic.

I order a number 3 or whatever it was for $4.99 or whatever and the girl tells me total is like $6.17 and I'm like damn tax isn't that much...I'll ask her when she gets here.

So the little girl comes out and asks for my $6.17 and I'm like "The meal was only $4.99", as I point to it on the menu. She looks at the menu dumbfoundedly, then back at me and says nothing. "The charge is over six dollars...tax isn't that much...that's what I'm trying to say."

Again, silence as she holds my food. "See, it's $4.99" again I point. "That's how we ring it up." she says. "Huh?" "We ring it like that." "Like what?" "That's how the total comes out to." "No, it should be like $5.40 or so with tax." "That's how we ring it up." "The meal was five bucks, tax on that is like no more than 40 cents, not a dollar-eighteen." "We ring it up like that." "Like what?" "One piece at a time." "No, no, it's a combo meal...that is why you order combo's to save a little. Ringing it up separately defeats the whole purpose." "Thats how our manager told us to ring it up." "You're manager told you to do that?" I ask, in stunned exasperation. "Yeah." "Don't like 50 people a day order this combo? Do you charge them all this much?" "Yay I think so." "It's OK, don't worry about it." and boom that's the end of it.

Fortunately it wasn't my local sonic, but one in another town.

Dude, this is a pattern. The Sonic right in front of my apartment has been boycotted by me because the price of a #1 combo on the menu is $4.59, and they charge $4.69 every time. I have told at least 6 carhops and withheld their tips every time, and still no change. This is over a period of a year probably.
