Receipt of the day
-
What currency is the receipt in? Regardless, 50.00 whatevers for nothing is a pretty steep fee. :-D I know that in the Czech Republic they have something called a 'couvert' (??) that is actually a charge for 'nothing' as well - it's not a tip, it's not related to the food and it seems to vary from establishment to establishment.. :~ John Theal Physicist/Mathematical Programmer Digital Immersion Software Corporation Got CAD? http://www.presenter3d.com[^]

The 'couvert' is used almost everywhere in Europe, it's meant as the cost for taking up space in the restaurant. On our trip to Praque this summer we didn't have to pay for courverts in the places we visited though, but last year in O'Porto they had it everywhere.

Looks like USD. Receipt in English, mentions something called 'Sours', date backwards (i.e. month/day/year), calls it a 'check' - yep, that's American all right. Mind you, if that deduction's right, :omg::wtf: look at the prices! Google for 'ninetysevengroup' - it's in Hong Kong. I suppose their receipts are in American for the tourists.

I found this: Since October 1983 the HK$ has been linked to the US dollar at HK$7.80 = US$1, although the rate fluctuates slightly. That would bring the prices a little closer to a reasonable value (though still rather pricey). ------------------------------------------ The ousted but stubbornly non-dead leader reportedly released an audiotape this weekend, ending by calling on Iraqis to, quote, "resist the occupation in any way you can, from writing on walls, to boycotting, to demonstrating and taking up arms." adding, "you know, pretty much anything I used to kill you for." - The Daily Show

Someone else pointed out that ninetysevengroup is in Hong Kong. I found this on the web: Since October 1983 the HK$ has been linked to the US dollar at HK$7.80 = US$1, although the rate fluctuates slightly.
