This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Some systems implement the multibuy as a "Remove £x from the final total" regardless of the price paid. So, for example, if smoothies cost £3 each or two for a fiver, our bill is whatever it would have been less a quid. This applies even if you bought the smoothies reduced to 10p each, so you end up paying -80p for them. I have heard reports of people being given cash at the till, but cannot confirm this.

This used to be the case...
... years ago, as a student, I mastered the art of being paid (a trivial sum) to take away supermarket yellow-ticket food. Obviously I also bought something else (most often beer) so that I still handed over some money, but the food items served only to reduce the cost of my beer.

Sadly, that calculation method seemed to die out shortly after, and that was 14 years or so ago.
