A restaurant overcharged me...

[DaWhim]

the total charge including taxes was $30.12. I wrote down the total for $35 and left the tip blank. the charge is $35.12 on my cc statement.

what should I do?
1. let it go?
2. call up the restuarant and tell them to correct it?
3. charge back?

I don't really like #1 just for being overcharged no matter how much is in question.
#2 will waste my minutes
I am thinking about #3 and see how citi will handle it. :evil:

negative. it is 12 cents. sometimes, I'd figure out the tips. most of the time, I wrote down the total and let them deduct the tip from there. not to mento the service was really slow....

You're contemplating charging back over 12 cents? You give a whole new meaning to the word cheap bud.

I *highly* doubt he's doing it to get 12 cents back, but would rather know why this happened. What if it turns out that the waiter/waitress is doing this to everyone?

I would normally round up the total to dollar, so I will know if something isn't right when I check my statement. of course, this happens...

OP - just clarify to us if the issue is over 12 cents or just the fact that it's wrong.

I am being overcharged, but it is only 12 cents. what do you see? that's the question.

sue for 12 cents?

Was the payment made with a debit card or a credit card? I know that sometimes they authorise more with a debit card, but finally end up charging you the exact amount.

Let it go dude, its 12 stinkin cents

You bought a meal for $35?? You're damn right the restaurant overcharged you, and that has nothing to do with your CC.

And I thought the OP was cheap. :roll:

it's 12 cents dude. let it go. a much more effective response would be to give the resturant a bad review somewhere. posting the prob on ATOT won't resolve anything.

Call all the local TV stations and report that there' a restaurant scamming people out of thousands of dollars. Sure it's only 12 cents to you but that adds up. Didn't you ever see Superman 3?

or office space?

Anyway to the OP: Next time you go there, just tip 12c less than you normally would have.

Alert the restaurant to what happened and then ignore it.

Notify the BBB?

go back and demand an extra 12 cents worth of service.
