We had lunch there on the Labor Day weekend. Something funky happened. I think, this place is running a little tourist scam. When I received the check, it looked all fine, meaning that the food prices matched the menu prices. I provided my CC and started waiting for receipt so that I could tip and sign. Well, after a good 10-min wait, either part of the scam or because of a busy day, I got a modified receipt to sign. I first thought that maybe they added gratuity. But a second and a careful look revealed that they added a $30 item on my bill. I told the waiter that something is off and we didn’t have this dish. And this receipt is different from the first one I saw. He acted like it was an accident. He panicked a little. He said he can fix it but the manager demanded to use the card again. They even hassled a little to void the transaction. Like, they asked to use the card again running the correct charge and canceling the old one.
I told the manager that if I see a voided receipt, then I can give my card. But I don’t understand why he has to use my card again without giving me the void receipt of the false transaction. Anyways, he voided the old one after charging the correct amount.
My guess is that when a customer receives the check the amount is correct. When it goes to the cashier, they void that check, generate another transaction with an extra item and assuming people will forget the original amount and will still tip and sign. Please like my comment, or reply if this happened to you, too.
