It was the only honorable decision, Kevy. And I'm sure we will see to it that you are made good.
But I'm at a loss. With 6 separate checks in 6 separate folders, you treat each of them separately. It's not a case of there being a $120 shortage on an $800 tab. There was no $800 tab.
Hey, I'm not here to be the inquisition. I'm sure you spent an inordinate amount of time figuring that out last night, and have little desire to deal with it now. I'm just flabergasted is all.
Sure, if I had thrown $75 into an $800 pool, I'd have no idea if the entire tab was properly paid. But when I put in $75 to my group's tab, I knew for a fact the bill was paid with a 25% gratuity. It was all there in the little folder, and I didn't have to rely on 23 other people to make that happen.
I doubt if 8 separate people decided to shortchange their bill. Most likely it's a shortage on 2 or 3 of the checks, and - in theory of course - it should have been easy to see which checks were properly paid and which were not.
Best Laid Plans and all that. But rest assured, your gesture of pure Kevydom will be a temporary inconvenience. We will make you whole.
Ya know, money-wise.
