How does the math work in this riddle?

809 views

Three guys go to the bar and get £30 worth of drinks. They pay £10 (10*3=30) each and the waitress takes the money. Before she puts it in the till the manager notices the guys and tells her “I know these guys, give them a £5 discount”
On the way to their table the waitress decides to give the guys £3 back and keep £2 as a tip.
The guys take a pound each, so instead of paying £10 each they end up paying £9 each (9*3=27).

And the question is: if they ended up paying £27 and the waitress kept £2 where did the last pound go?

The question is the trick part. the 27 they paid already includes the 2 kept by the waitress.

25 in the cashier, 2 in the waiter, 3 returned to each of the guys
