The problem is, the correct number isn't on the receipt. That's illegal, even though the footnote is present to indicate that the table shouldn't apply.
Thanks for the link and reference, hadn't seen that discussion. Seems clear-cut in the regulation.

For the record, I didn't mean I would let UA 'out of jail' with that footnote, but rather that I think UA is hoping it serves as an adequate fig leaf when they can't figure out how to make a proper receipt. But even so, it is still unclear what that footnote means.
