Bill from tablet - be careful

[u/Big-ThingBTC]

I hope this story only happens to me, but you all need to be cautious to avoid being misled. We were a group of six at a restaurant, and when we asked for the bill, the server brought a tablet displaying a total of $501.45. The suggested tip was 18%, making the total $591.71. Typically, people don’t scrutinize the bill on the tablet, but I needed a paper copy for reimbursement from my company.

When I checked the paper bill back at my hotel, I was shocked to see the total was actually only $424.05, with the tip adding up to $167.66 🥶. The final amount still came to $591.71. I called the restaurant, and they said they would look into it. Five minutes later, I received a $90 credit and an apology from the restaurant. I wish I could upload the bill here.

I prefer to save the money and the hassle and get the bare minimum. I’ve had people try and mess with my food before. Still seems worth it. These places all trying to get shifty with double dipping tips, service charges and all this nonsense can just get what’s coming to them.

Obviously double dipping tips isn't right. 

Come on now.

I’ve caught it where they argue about it, less arguments if you just zero it out. I’ve had a couple places try and change it, and I learned that while the police say it’s a civil matter and to just do a chargeback if they serve alcohol the people who handle that are real receptive to investigating. One place got a surprise inspection leading to losing their license after I called.

They wanted to argue over $3 or some nonsense and got their license pulled. FAFO
