Discounting of weighed items under a lb

We run Toast Retail and run Toast in our restaurant (2 "locations").  On the retail side we use a scale generated embedded barcode to read price.   Toast will discount weighed fractional items over a lb correctly for % off but not $ off discounts.  Toast will not perform either discount with weights less than a lb.  Ex:  Strip Steak 1.54lbs, no problem with a 10% discount, will do $ off but only on the first lb not fractional.   Ex:  Ground Beef 0.95lb, won't discount a % off, but if its 1.01lb no problem, discounts at $ off cannot be performed. 

Inablity to do fractional $ off, and % off less is causing long lines with our cashier as the only workaround is an open item, requiring our cashiers to know every sale in the store or use a cheat sheet to remember and use a calculator to price the open item. 

We have made the request for a change though our onboarding rep, through Toast reps, and more.  The only response we get is "we are aware and working on it". 

Why can't Toast provide a timeline or at least some level of Toasts perceived urgency/priority on the fix, its maddening that we get "filtered" through reps and agents with no dev team communication. Additionally maddening, is that when posting to the board there is no Retail specific area, or label that fits posts like this. 

Anyone else familiar with this? could not find an active thread though search.  Thanks.

15709813, .....don't ask me why after changing the items to "any", verifying other changes nothing worked still.....tested it at 1pm EST nothing work.....reset dates on the sale out the of the range, set them back to the correct dates , then toggled off on the auto apply , and saved to see if it mattered and voila....it worked.   Will likely close out the case.   Go figure....makes no sense.  Will test further.   Joe

Hi Rob - I haven't seen this update pushed through and just tested and the under 1 pound items are still not discounting. 

We've not seen it either.   Yes, though one is a restaurant and one a butcher shop ....don't run Retail on the restaurant side. 

Wanted to check back, we pushed an update to the locations. Has the issue been resolved?

Hi Rob - I just checked, and no, it has not been resolved. I'm attaching pictures of a Porterhouse steak with a weight under 1 being scanned showing that there are no discount options available, and then one with a weight over 1 being scanned showing that there are discount options available.
