Kevy, I want to know how this happened. Which check was $120 short? There was no check for the entire table. That was produced as a joke to present to Chris. The actual checks were for four-people each (unless a particular group requested a different number).
So ... if there were approx. 24 people, there would have been 6 separate checks. Was it a case where 2 or 3 of those were each short $30 or so, or was there some oversight where perhaps 1 entire check did not get paid?
My area's check for 4 people came to $90. But one person had only a side dish, and another 2 shared their entree. On the other hand, we had a large bar bill. My point being, it's entirely possible that one check was for $120. I'm wondering if that's the case, and it got lost in the spicy sauce.
In any event, though we always joke about Kevy coming to the rescue on any underpaid restaurant tab ... that is only for giggles and is never to happen for even ten bucks. A $120 shortage is entirely unacceptable. We must find out what happened, and see that Kevy is properly reimbursed.
P.S. - It was our idea to have separate checks. Seeing as it made life very easy for us, and our check was paid in full with a very generous 25% tip, I don't see why this would have been a problem for everybody else. To the contrary, waiting for every one of 24 people to go through one single check and calculate their amount would mean we'd be sitting there still.
