My in-laws are the absolute worst for that. My mother-in-law will like grab the bill and carefully and like scowl well she complains how expensive it is. Then they won't even tip. It's ridiculously embarrassing.

Tons of people do that, and they should.

There's been multiple times where I've found an irregularity on my bill

Uh, I always check the bill. Normally not the prices since I do that before ordering, but I make sure each line was something I got. It's just a quick check like what they do at Costco.

Because they are so stupid they can't estimate approximately what they should be paying for what they ordered and need to add it up manually? Or because they are so paranoid they think that waiters and waitresses just wait around to slip an extra 20 cents onto their bill so they can make more money for the restaurant they don't want to be working at anyway?

Sometimes mistakes happen.

I don't do it because I think the waiter/tress is trying to rip me off, but sometimes they can put in the wrong menu item or something. Or if you're out with friends and someone's thing gets charged to someone else.

But if it's that big of a difference, won't you just notice the total being way off?

But TC is bitching about checking the bill. If you're looking at the total, that's checking the bill. I do what you posted originally though. I estimate what it'll be when ordering and just skim the line items to make sure that's what I ordered. Normally the total is around my estimate if the line items are correct.

Everywhere I go, the waitress/waiter will say, "your total is ... ". But yeah, the TC is not talking about checking the total, he's saying the people who go over it with a fine toothed comb, which is what we were talking about.

paying for something you didn't get is a valid reason to check your receipts when you get them which this topic is about brotendo

dont you guys have no shame at all?

1. checking the bill and scanning each line in front of the staff or waiter before paying = embarrassing


2. when you order your food in the first place, the prices are there = you can make a mental note of how much the total will be


bonus

3. splitting bills = embarrassing. 1 person should pay the entire bill, then AFTER away from the public your friends can pay you back OR better yet they shout you next time (if they are you real friends)

He was talking about people getting their bill and looking up every item with a fine toothed comb and being assholes about it. Sure, if we change what the topic is about, you can be right, but that is not what I was talking about, nor what the topic is about. If I'm getting over/under charged I'll generally notice a discrepancy in the price, and then I'll check it, like a normal person, brohio.

Checking to make sure everything is right isn't a bad thing to do. Do you think waiter/ress get upset that you check over it? As long as you tip I don't think most care.

1) most times they just leave the check and come back. Most waiters/tresses don't just hover over you rofl

2) already talked about. Some people just make sure what's on the bill is what they ordered. Mistakes happen, even if it's rare.

3) splitting isn't inherently bad. If it's a large group, you should tell the waiter/tress early on. But 2-3 friends eating together isn't really that annoying to servers.

Shut the fuck up.
