Check Your Receipts!

I mentioned earlier that you should check your hotel bill for “billing inaccuracies” (that happen way too often), but check out the case of Laurie Dennington who changed receipts so that she’d get bigger tips! This is probably something that’d be hard to discover unless you paid extra special attention. One of my credit cards (I can’t seem to find which one) breaks out what part of the charge is food and what part is tips but that still requires a very high level of diligence.

A waitress at Lone Star Steakhouse in Pasco County has admitted to altering credit card receipts to increase her tips, according to a sheriff’s office report.
