Have you ever been undercharged at a resturant?

Question

I'm talking like $30 off? I had a group of 10 people go to a restaurant and some of them left with more that what they came with. I called the manager afterwards and he was really nice and said that the till came out right and there was no problem. I know that this is not the case. What do I do? Do we risk the bad karma and keep the extra cash?

Answer 1

Hey!  Sometimes things happen in your favor. If you checked with the manager and he was satisfied the restaurant wasn't short changed. The next time you go to the restaurant with a party or by yourself, leave a generous tip if you're still disturbed.

Answer 2

i went to a four star restaurant with 5 ppl. the correct tab was $345 but the waiter screwed up and gave my the tab for a $95  from another table. i was wasted already so i didn't pay attention. i just signed and put down a $30 tip. they called me an hour later saying their was a mistake. i was nice enough to let them charge the correct amount and gave the waiter another $20 since the service was excellent.

Answer 3

if you remember the server ,get a reservation in that servers section,and thank and/or tip extra next time.by calling you are in the top 1% of humans..Did you see the bill?mabye some items were "promo"ed to your group.could be they wanted your 10 people to return for dinner again.

Answer 4

If the bill checked with the register and the Manager is satisfied.  You do not have a problem.  Perhaps the menu prices have changed and the restaurant doesn't have their new ones yet.  

You did the honourable thing to bring it to the attention of management.

Answer 5

My boss' runners and waiters sometimes give their friends a 10% discount my boss allows and nothing more. I get free lunch and dinner, but my friends get 25% off their check. The waiters get their tip of the 25% check. I get free liquor and drinks from the bar. I remember one time when a waiter my boss recently hired charge his friend's meal and my boss fired him.

Answer 6

You called the manager, so that is all you can do.  Keep the money.  Give it to charity.
