4.0
Was there on Memorial day for my husband. We ordered chicken enchiladas $16 and fish tacos $14 also a bottle water for $2 the food was fine. When asked for checking the bill said if paid by credit card would add up to 36.xx so I paid cash $40 (total plus tax supposed to be $34.24) the waitress who looked like a senior there gave me back 3.xx as if we paid by credit card (not to mention it’s my money and she took it out of my side but returned the change on my husband’s) so I informed her that I paid cash she was mumbling something about it’s holiday, no lady, no matter what day it was, you suppose to give me back $5.76 if so, I would put more extra few bucks for the tips which usually everywhere we went I always tip 20-25% no matter with happy or sad services. But because of the dishonest so I left 3.xx for the tips if she wanted she could have the rest out of the draw. Thanks to self I love reading so I saw every note on the bill. - Pan TR
