- Considering I work in the restaurant business, yes sometimes you will be charged an extra gratuity for large groups, but it would show on your receipt before you sign it! I would also recommend going back to the restaurant as soon as possible to let them know, it may have been a simple mistake by someone entering the wrong numbers or it could quite possibly be a crime! Being a manager myself, I would want to know right away to resolve the problem so that way it wouldn't happen again. >From: "Timothy Hunt" <geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Bandanas >Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 17:55:13 -0500 > >- >We plan to do that anyway.
