Hey there good lookin’…
I’m not sure who thought it would be a good idea to charge more per person if you have more than one person in your group, but something tells me this bold strategy may not pan out. Then again, I’m sure people just assume they are saving money by using the group rates. Maybe they meant to say that one person is $3 instead of $2 – this would then make everything consistent.
Whether it’s a typo or not, if you decide to pony up the cash, make sure you and your friends pay separately. And remember: the group discount is not always what it seems.
UPDATE (11/24/09): The manager of jAdis was kind enough to respond to my post – you can see the comment below. Apparently the price scheme is deliberate, and I am comforted by the fact that “9 out of 10″ people seem to be in on the joke. This is a relief.

We were told by a freind of your concerns about our Math.
Thanks for stopping by jAdis.
The owner is Parke Meek.
Google: Eames + Parke Meek.
You will see that Mathematical thinking and application to design, are at the top of his list.
The Math on the Sign is on purpose.
It discourages those who seem obliged to "negotiate" with us
and it makes 9 out of 10 folks laugh…which is the point.
The 10th & 11th persons are either offended OR actually hand us the 5 Bucks! We always give the xtra dollar back….
Parke would love your site.
Come see us @ jAdis, it is a very special place; the length and breadth of his intelligence, imagination and collection is staggering.
