I'm a bit geeky too (and Oregon has no sales tax, which makes mental math easy). I did notice the price was higher than expected as I ordered (which was why I looked at the receipt), but I thought they might have just raised their prices (not all their prices are listed on the menu) and I wasn't given a receipt until after my order was bagged. Needless to say, this place isn't one of those places that has a big LCD that shows you an itemized breakdown of your order.

I brought the bag of cookies up with me, but from what I gather, the "pressed cookie button four times instead of three" error happens quite often at this establishment; they pretty much asked me if I wanted the fourth cookie or my money back with no questions asked (to their credit).

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
