one place put a one in front of the tip

---

I used to audit restaurant receipts for a large company, in every incident, it was the server who did the misdeed. No establishment wants to get on the credit card companies radar screen for fraud - they will get bounced out of the program.

It never failed to amaze me, how many servers lost gigs with great tip income, in order to pad their earnings by a few bucks.

I work in that area and have had lunch there. Good but not great, as it goes.

Many Chinese establishments still use paper slips and calculate the tax without regard for accuracy. Have you seen that? (8% is good profit).

In Massachusetts, Chinese joints are a mini casino making money selling drinks to the unemployed on food stamps (EBT) and cashing in on keno.

If they suck, just do not patronize them. That is why, besides a bad economy and high taxes, many small eateries are out of business.

The thing that got me was how management tried to say it was the credit card company that added the extra amount. Dummies don’t know that the CC’s just charge what is presented to them by restaurants.
