    Showing the price accurate to one decimal place makes me feel uncomfortable. Is that €10.80, or is it, like, €10.82 and they rounded?

      8 (八 ba) is considered a lucky number in Mandarin due to its pronunciation being similar to “fortune” (发 fa). So you get lots of things priced with 8 (also for telephone numbers, plate numbers, etc.)

      With Chinese currency, the smallest coin is ¥0.1, one jiǎo. 0.1 CNY = 0.013 EUR. They may not be familiar with the convention of always writing the hundredths place, even if it’s zero, used with euros or dollars, especially if they’re using Google Translate for the menu.
