Where is it?


3 men go for dinner.
.
Each buys a $10 steak. 
.
At the end of the meal, they collect $30 between the three of them to cover the cost of the meal and give it to the waitress. 
.
She goes back to the cash register, where the overlooking manager says. 
.
"Those dinners are discounted, you need to give them $5 back." 
.
So the waitress gets the five dollars, and returns to the table. 
.
Not knowing how to split $5 between the three of them, she gives 1 dollar to each of the three patrons, and kept two for herself.
.
Now if you do the maths.
.
Together they paid $30.
.
Received $3 back meaning they only paid $27. 
.
The waitress kept $2. 
.
This totals $29. 
.
Where did the last dollar go?
