[QUOTE=Sofaspud]  
Turns out the waitress (who was the manager – slow day for them, I guess) had added a zero on to the end of my total amount and run it through the system, pocketing the excess as her ‘tip’.  
[/QUOTE]  
Wow…was there actual documentation that she intentionally added a zero? Turning a $15 lunch buffet into a $150 pizza bill is a bit too brazen for me to think it was done on purpose. I mean, did she really not expect someone to notice their account was $135 short? :dubious:
