Confusing User Story

[ptolemybarnes]

As a customer
So that I can verify that my order is correct
I would like to check that the total I have been given matches the sum of the various dishes in my order

(will fill in this issue properly later)

I was going to drop a line to say this was really confusing too! I translated it as saying that the customer has to checkout/pay with an amount that is equal to the cost of their order (but otherwise had no idea what it meant). e.g. takeaway.checkout(12.96)

Please change this. We're now in the second generation of Makers being confused. It makes a lot more sense when you see how Ben approached this in his solution. But that requires a rewrite that frames the user story from the perspective of the restaurant. E.g.:

As a takeaway employee
So that I can be sure payment is correct
I would like to calculate the order total and compare that to what the customer has paid me

I had the same problem with that user story. Rufus' answer above helped me figure it out but it would be a great improvement having this rephrased in the instructions.
