CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS! The staff here like to tip themselves a little extra. But most importantly when you google the number to the business (516-400-4147) and place the call, an incredibly rude man (presumably the owner), will speak to you immediately in a condescending tone and before you can even tell him what you're calling about, will speak over you and ask you when you went to the bar and question you multiple times about how many people were in your party. He'll even go as far as telling YOU what YOU "might've" ordered. I mean, in the 3 minutes I spoke with the guy, so many ridiculous things were said by him that I can't even write it into words.
Regardless, check those receipts.
I check all my receipts 2-3x a month and came across my 10 Degrees Bar receipt of $78.12. When I scrolled through my bank card statement, I saw that the finalized transaction was $93.12, which means that someone added 15 extra dollars to the merchant receipt.
Just so you all know, I always tip between 18-22%, or more if the service was absolutely spectacular (which it certainly was not). Most times, if I don't write the tip on the card, I'll write "cash" on the tip line of the receipt and leave cash tip on the table.
That being said, all I called the man for was to ask him to review the receipt and get back to me with some clarification. Perhaps it was a mistype on their end, no problem.
But he was so insanely rude to me on the phone that I couldn't even get the issue across to him. I didn't want to be sitting here writing a review on yelp, which I'm also going to copy and paste on other review pages. This could all have been avoided if whoever picked up that phone wasn't an absolute d-bag to me for no reason.
To the guy: take a chill pill, man. The number attached to your bar is that 516 number that you picked up. If you're that annoyed with talking to people about your business to the point that you feel the need to immediately put the conversation into flames, give that phone to someone else. Seriously, relax. Also, I can understand questioning someone about a transaction from many weeks/months ago...but 10 days? I called you 10 days after visiting the bar. I didn't get to the receipt until today. Was that so wrong?
Since we've gotten to this point, you should know that your waiters and waitress' service was subpar, and your cocktails could use some work.
