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

Read my latest reply, it is NOT working for us.   I was out of town and had a staff member verify and they were incorrect.   Again, it is not working see my post.

Looks like this is fixed in 2.93 https://updates.toasttab.com/announcements/minimum-quantity-for-item-specific-discounts-can-now-be-l... you might be able to request to be upgraded rather than wait.

That is correct. It is now fixed. 

We have a saying around here ....this is your brain....this is  your brain on Toast.....confoundingly they did not push us an update last night and efforts to get them push outside the batch window are not proving productive. We are the mercy of Toast to push the update whenever they choose during an upcoming batch window. Would think some priority to get install in those the most impacted (costing us 10+ cashier hours a week) would be prudent but.....this is your brain on Toast. 

That's odd, never had an issue with upgrade requests @Rob Can you help them with this?
