I was pointing out the difference between cost and price

Cost is what something costs to you. In this case each drink ended up costing 9 dollars each because each person paid 9 dollars for it. This is a fact. This is the cost for the customer. You cannot deny this!

8.666 is the price that was charged by the cashier. the remaining two dollars were taken by the assistant.

It's time to move on from this funny confusing tale which continues to confuse many till this day.
