Re: Can You beleive this?

Got a funny story. (Don't I always?) Had dinner at a nice restaurant with all the kids and a few friends. The bill was well into the 3 digits (no, not counting the cents!), and I added a tip to the credit card slip, as usual. I totaled it, and even had my son check my math for me. Got home and looked at it again. Not sure how it happened or how my son missed it, but it was off by a hundred bucks! (Too high!)

Called the restaurant and they refunded the $100 to my account. Whew!

Re: Can You beleive this?

This is why I use CASH. I just don't trust all those things. People still make mistakes! I do use credit cards and pay them off each month, but they are really good about disputes.

We had a UPC preacher friend who accidentally put a $100 tip on the table instead of a dollar! By the time he realized it, he was home and it was too late. That's what he gets for just planning to leave a dollar!

I'da loved to see the look on his face!

And I bet it caused some confusion in the mind of the waiter. "Weird. I thought that guy was a preacher."

Re: Can You beleive this?

Speaking of tips... when I was more well off I used to give the pizza delivery person a twenty.. and I tipped the waiter/waitress the price of the meal or above.
