$31 or $131
You organize a get-together at a sports bar to watch a college sporting event...~150 people the bar would never have there on Friday night.
The owner brings you a beer on the house during the night to show his thanks. Your group of 4 runs up a tab of $131. The waitress brings you a credit card slip to sign that says $31. Sign and leave or say something?

Why would the owner take off 100$ but not the full amount, looks like it was a mistake to me. [/ QUOTE ] He wants to know if its okay for him him to screw them out of $100 since he filled the bar. I voted no.

The owner wasn't doing me any favors past the free beer. My question was weather you take advantage of the mistake or point it out. Also, this isn't a place where I'm a regular. The owner doesn't really know me, and will probably never know if I made good on the mistake, and will only come across me again the 2 more times over the next year where I organize a group again.

Re: $31 or $131
In this situation I'd tell them. In a chain restaurant when they forget to put on a drink or even an entree, I don't say anything, but will keep it in mind for the tip.

Re: $31 or $131
Pretty simple, I think, If you have a moral problem with it, like you won't be able to sleep at night, then yes. Otherwise if you go there a lot tell em, if you don't [censored] it, freeeeeeee drinks.

Re: $31 or $131
It's a place I really only go 2 or 3 times a year because they have the satellite package which carries my alma mater's hockey games.
I saw the $31 and pointed it out the waitress. She came back with another credit card receipt for $100, so I thought she was cutting us a break for pointing out the error. Then 2 seconds later I realized that was in addition to the original receipt. Kinda sucked to point it out and not have it recognized in anyway. Oh well. Hopefully karma will bring it back to me one day.

For all you know the owner might have docked the waitress for the mistake, and that would suck. Anyway, that doesn't matter cause you paid what you owed. We all hope people don't screw us when we mess up, so it's only fair to do the right thing at times like this.
