Have you noticed when you go to restaurants:

~If they ask you if you want "extras" ie: "Oh, would you like meat sauce on that spaghetti (or bread with that, or cheese on your potato)?", they ADD $1.50 (or more) to your bill?? I NOW say "Whatever is free" or "Is it an extra cost"? They are very good a non-disclosure.

~If there are 8 (or 10 or whatever) or more in your party they ADD 18% gratuity AFTER the sales tax? This is WRONG! We should NOT pay a gratuity on sales tax!

Ladies.......be on the lookout for being FLEECED everywhere! The last restaurant who "added" the gratuity incorrectly, I "corrected" the bill and told the manager. She pawned it off with "I'll tell the bookkeeper", when in fact, their registers are pre-programmed this way!

Think about it: Even if it is only 35 cents they are overcharging...100 times .35 is $35 someone is pocketing!!

OPEN YOUR EYES!! WE are getting ripped off! Check your receipts everywhere you go!
