agreed.
In my experience, usually small restaurants/taverns (usually doesn't happen at a chain like Applebee's or Chili's) overcharge, but the account gets fixed a couple days afterwards. I have enough $$ to compensate if they overcharge on my credit/debit (no one has overcharged more than $15 though- in fairness), but imagine if you didn't, and you overdrew because of it. That would suck.
I think restaurants should post a discreet sign or put something on the menu about it though- so you don't flip out when you see the overcharge on your statement.
My immediate reaction was the same....I can't believe my server did that....
