At $85 there was certainly room for error on the restaurants part - some possibilities I was aware of:
- Tiggs leaving early and paying her share on a separate bill - was that removed from the original?
- The bread ordered at the first table (but never delivered) - did that still get added to the final bill? I know they at least got my drink I ordered at the first table.
- The Lashpair ordered a bottle of wine and got a glass instead and o[ted to change their order. The bottle didn't end up on our tab, but did it make its way onto one of the other splits?
- Then there's EH's overcharge - where did that come from.
I think we all paid good attention to our own, but once split there was no way for someone to oversee the total and find any item unaccounted for. Lessons learned for next time. Maybe a prix fixe buffet is the best route to go for a group of such size...
