Oh, yeah. And I told him that I was particularly angry because it was definitely deliberate, seeing as how both of us had been charged, and it was exactly twenty percent.
He started talking about how they'd like to have us back on them, etc. I said "Let's get the situation resolved before we start talking about how you're going to make it up to us."
That's outrageous, Vortex. I would be furious.
you go, Vortex! I love a good handing of the ass in the morning.
I said "Let's get the situation resolved before we start talking about how you're going to make it up to us."
I wish I could take you with me to work today as my spokesperson.
That's outrageous, Vortex. I would be furious.
Yeah, me too. Same goes for what le Nubian and Megan said.
How did you notice? Your credit card bill didn't match your receipt? Damn.
Has anyone watched Plain Jane? I kind of like it ... it's sweet in a weird kind of way.
Okay, so they're saying that I wasn't overcharged, that it was a "pre-authorization" and I will only be charged the original amount. When I called shenanigans and said that they are obligating my card, he claimed that it was just an authorization. I said "it's a debit card, and my balance is $18 less than it should be." THEN he claimed that the bank did the additional pre-authorization, not them. I said "well, I will be calling my bank to talk with them about that." He said nothing, he just fucking lied. I'm writing a hot letter now.
Vortex, the bank thinks you ought to tip 20%. Try THAT one on, Miss Manners!! "My boyfriend thinks 15% is enough, but the bank says 20% is right..."
I've had that happen on my bank card before - the amount it looks like I paid is higher than the amount I did on the card (because I tipped cash). When the actual transaction cleared, it was the right amount. It may still be shenanigans on the restaurant’s end, but I wouldn't put it past banks to pull that shit just to make you "accidentally" overdraft.
