so apparently a 23% tip wasn't enough...

the bill was $21.99 for desert and coffee at a local well-known bakery.
i paid via cc and put down $27.00 for the total and left the tip line blank.

i always round up to whole dollar amounts so when my cc statement came and saw $28.99, i knew something was up. the bitch changed my 7 to an 8, and the 0's to 9's.

the extra $2 is trivial, but the greed and audacity of her to change the bill has me livid.
already called up the place and the manager is looking into it and will call me back.
 
For that money and tip i am willing to sell you cake and coffee...

What is so special about that bakery ? Or did you go there with 2 or 3 people ?
But to be honest, when i see the prices here ... Not that much different...

im gonna start saving my reciepts and checking my credit card statements now. the nerve!!!
 
Dispute it with the credit card company. They'll probably reverse the entire charge, serves them right.
 
Servers like this are the reason I only tip 15%. You have to be exceptional for me to even consider 20%. If you don't want your pay dictated by a stranger, get a real job.
 
I'd probably have called too.

if a waitress screwed with your receipt to give herself a bigger tip, she's probably done it to every one of her other customers too, who may not have been as vigilant about checking their credit card statements.
 
i would notify the management and let them know. That is fraud and can get them in trouble if they get the wrong person complaining.
 
Good on you for looking into it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a mistake though. When I worked in a restaurant, we'd take the receipts and manually enter the tips into a computer at the end of the night to charge the CC. With piles of receipts in a person's hand, I'd guess it is more likely she entered the wrong number than tried to steal $2.

While there are a ton of dumb people in the world, that would be a dumb way to steal money. With even 15 customers on a given day, you're walking away with an extra $30 and are guaranteed to lose your job within a year.
 
Come on, that's obviously a mistake.

Someone hit 8 instead of 7 and 9 instead of 0. No scammer changes a even total to an uneven one.
 
The worst one I've had happen to me was at a Pizza Hut. I had placed a pickup order for a $10 medium pizza, when I checked my bill a few days later I noticed they had added $4 for tip.
 
I keep my receipts and periodically compare them to the downloaded information in Quicken and compare my Quicken info to the receipt each month.

I keep all my receipts for a couple years, which I know is odd. However, I am not sure why people do not keep their receipts at least until they compare them to their monthly cc statements.
