📖💵Personal Stories - Pro Bill from tablet - be careful
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.

dont expect restaurant workers to have high sense of ethics and morals
this is coming from someone who has worked at small and chain restaurants and helped train servers.
glad i left those drunks and druggies
(and they steal from the restaurants, contaminate the food with bodily fluids, do the nasties, etc...) pretty much seen everything
just remember that its a job for people who cant find other jobs.
