March 10, 200422 yr This one restaurant I went to charged me more than shown on the receipt. I signed the receipt for $19.09, then I checked my account and it states that they charged me $22.91 instead. It maybe small amount but it's wrong for them to charge me more than expected. Should I go back and tell them they overcharge me?
March 10, 200422 yr Well then, I'd complain. 2 dollars is still something, and you don't want them to do it again. Could've been an honest mistake.
March 10, 200422 yr Author It could have been a mistake but extacly 20% was taken out. It's a small amount but it's the principle.

March 10, 200422 yr Author I doubt it's gratuity. They can't add more to the bill without my knownledge. I signed the for $19.09 and $19.09 only. I'll wait for my bank statement.
March 12, 200422 yr A lot of times, I'll use my check card at restaurants and my online statements show a higher amount for a day or two and then it changes into what I really spent. I found this weird but it happened like 4 or 5 times in a 2 month span. I railed this dude at pizza hut and he assured me I wasn't charged that much even though my online statement said otherwise, 2 days later it was fixed.

Some restaurants will add 20% to the amount you spent to assure you have enough money for it. This is the first time that has happen to me.

Restaurants aren't allowed to add any additional charges once you've signed for the amount you're liable for. Keep your receipt and get your money back. IF they do it again, sue the crap out of them for fraudulant charges and petty theivery. Your on line statement is supposed to reflect what you actually spent, not some other bogus amount the restaurant thinks you should be charged. They didn't take any extra money. They add 20% to your bill to make sure you have enough money. When your statement comes, you're charged the amount sign for. I found that out 2 days ago.
