Re: Restaurants overcharging on Debit Cards

Your analogy isn't accurate. It would be more accurate if you
placed a hold on the pies, but didn't actually remove them. In
that case the restaurant would have a good laugh at your expense,
but it wouldn't actually cost them anything.

Colters BBQ of Texas does this -- adds the tip -- even though it is a

I talked with the manager at Colters and he informed me this was done
just in case you wanted to leave a tip.

This is a big deal.

Suppose I paid my bill by cash and on the way out I saw two pieces of
pie I wanted priced at $1.50 each.

What if I picked them up and continued out the door after telling the
manager I would get back to him and settle up in two or three days?

He would have me arrested for shoplifting -- yet he is doing the same
thing to me and thinks it is ok.
