Restaurant Prices

Sometimes I do not have time to cook something, or just have gotten sick of eating some cheap food I have cooked. So I'll go to a restaurant. Lately I have noticed a couple of occasions when a restaurant will charge me differently for the same thing ordered on two occasions. Like, my eggie breakfast one day will be $4.75, and the next day it'll be $5.25. For exactly the same thing! Would I be a jerk to bring this up? Usually the discrepancy is pretty small, and I figure someone has padded the bill so they can buy a can of cat food or something, so I don't bother. Should I bother these people? Would that be rude? Would I seem like a jerk? Sometimes I hear what sounds like snickering coming from the kitchens, but I can't be sure.

OOOOH....Paranoia....Sooo sechzzzzy....lol


I ALWAYS determine how much my bill should be, based on the prices listed in the menu, and the sales tax...If it is incorrect, I kindly inform them of their mistake, they adjust it, and that's the end of it...It's really no big deal...Mistakes happen...

If you think they are ripping you off, go back and burn the fucking place to the ground. Make sure you bar the door so everyone inside can die a firey death....I.....nevermind.


Honestly what I have done is when I get shitty service or they do something like that I like to leave them a nickel for a tip. Kind of lets you know where you stand doesnt it.

EIther that or just skip out on the check.:p
