Check Your Recipt

So this is just a little reminder out there to everyone to be sure and check your receipts (especially from restaurants) against your bank statements. I have never done this, but a couple weeks ago, I decided to. On the first receipt I have ever checked in my life against my bank statement, I was overcharged 10 dollars. I had given the guy a very nice (and not even necessarily deserved) 20+% tip of $9 He added an extra $10, upping his final tip close to 45%. This happened at Johnny Carinos. I called and complained, and after a week of badgering them, they sent me my $10 (cash, which was weird) and 15 dollars in gift certificates. In hindsight, I should have demanded the $9 tip back too, because... do I really want to tip my waiter to rip me off?


Also, check out my new photos on flickr in the set: Chambers Lake, 2005.
