Honesty

[spudbynight]

Get the bill fixed, it's dishonest otherwise I feel. Honesty is simple and easy.

Same for me - I am surprised people need to ask this question at all.

 

[spudbynight]

Wow... that a real holier than thou attitude you have there... I bet you've never put a foot wrong in your entire life have you?!

Are you agreeing that not highlighting the mistake is the wrong thing to do?

It depends how much I like the place/staff/food. If it's somewhere I go often and enjoy the place I would say something.

Like the Pink Turban? I keep hearing good stuff about there.

The Pink Turban is not bad (just up the road from my house) Artisan in Wishaw is really good.

I actually went to that mexican place next to the cinema in Hamilton last week, was terrible we complained and only had to pay for one round of drinks. It took an hour and a half for the starter to come and we ended up missing the movie.

I've not heard good things about that... and the chain restaurant there I'd avoid too, I'd also avoid the one on the corner opposite the Palace. I'd recommend Peter's, or Andiamo's or the Bombay Cottage, but they're all a bit of a walk from the Vue.

The reason I go to a restaurant and pay silly prices is so I don't have to do any work! I probably wouldn't notice anything added/subtracted from te bill.

If I did notice I would get it corrected, but it'd depend on the place. Eg, if it was a chain I'd just leave the rest as a tip but if it was a small place then id query it.

In my eyes, the two reasons to be honest are;

You have a clear conscious and it's "the right thing to do"
If you were overcharged then you'd still kick up a fuss

Also, most of th time I've noticed, the waitress told me not to worry about it

If you're in a restaurant and they bring you the bill and it's a fair bit cheaper than you expect it to be (say £10/20). What do you do?

Do you ask them to clarify the costs as you think you've been undercharged? (it may be that you haven't after all)

Do you say nothing and pay up and leave?

Do you put the money you think it's should be and think they might correct it?
and if they don't correct it. Do you leave the money as a tip or keep it?

Had this happen three times in the last two years or so and every time we were undercharged. We then paid the proper amount.

It really depends. If I didn't notice it til I was gone, then that would be that I'm afraid.

I guess if it was a big amount and I thought it would mean someones job, or even someone getting a *******ing, then I would return it.

I would enjoy my pleasantly cheaper bill.

This, as it only happens a few times in your life (Only once for me so far) Most of the time they always stick something small in there to bump it up a few pounds and i have to get the to corrected.

Me and my gf had a big dinner lots of drinks then a different waiter got us deserts. She then charged us for deserts only on the bill.

I didnt say anything, not my mistake.
