Can you say "padded tip?" OK, maybe it was an honest mistake by our server "Kevin S." but I travel extensively and I can't tell you how often I've had a server pad the tip despite the fact that I usually tip about 20%, unless the service is horrible. In this case, I gave a $7.00 tip on a $36.92 dinner. I guess that wasn't enough because he helped himself to another $1. I've had this happen before - usually when I travel out of town. I imagine they assume I won't be stopping back through to challenge it. Food was pretty good except my coworker's chicken sandwich arrived without the chicken (pretty funny).
