1I think there is no dollar missing because the actual bill paid by them at the end will be $27 . So 27 -2(stolen by waiter) = 25(which is paid to the manager)
nice question [1]
Three people are eating at a restaurant. The waiter gives them the bill,
which totals up to $30. The three people decide to share the expense
equally ($10 each), rather than figure out how much each really owes.
The waiter gives the bill and the $30 to the manager, who sees that
they have been overcharged. The real amount should be $25. He gives
the waiter five $1 bills to return to the customers, with the
restaurant's apologies. But, the waiter is a dishonest man. He puts $2
in his pocket, and returns $3 to the customers. Now, each of the
three customers has paid $9, for a total of $27. Add the $2 that the
waiter has stolen, and you get $29. But, the original bill was $30. What
happened to the missing dollar?

1The manager had 30 dollars , and the waiter took 2 dollars . So the statement " they each paid 9 dollars " is wrong .
1Phir bhai , according to post 2 , 3 dollars kahan gaye , jo unhone pay kiya tha initially ?
1initially they have paid 30 dollars right? ...... & then waiter gives 3 dollars back to them.....so it means they have actually paid 27 dollars,
out of which waiter keeps 2 dollars......& remaining amount 25$ is paid to manager
1"Add the $2 that the waiter has stolen, and you get $29. But, the original bill was $30. What happened to the missing dollar?"
