I too Monkey to Pizza Hut this evening to use his pizza certificate before it expired. When we got there, they had their buffet going. Odd, but I thought what the heck, right? We both got the buffet and forfeited the pizza certificate.

We finish eating and I look at the bill. Now, there was a sign on the buffet that said kids 4-10 eat for $2.49 or something like that. Well, I got charged full price for Monkey. I asked if the dinner buffet was different to which the waitress responds, “No. Kids 4-10 eat for $2.49.” I said, “He is 10.” She replied with a, “I knew he was close.” Uhm, if you didn’t know, why wouldn’t you just ask me? Novel idea, I know. She adjusted the bill, not a problem.

Then, and this is where I get mad. My bill was $13.15 and I gave her a $20. Mind you, I work at a bank and I’m pretty good at making change. I always figure out how much change I should get back. Always! The girl brings me back $1.85. Hmm? It was a buffet, don’t flatter yourself. I sat and waited for her to walk back by so I could tell her she gave me the wrong change. I had to wait a good 5 minutes and then she walks over and says, “Oh, did I forget to give you your $5?” Yeah. I’m sure you “forgot” to give me that $5. I was pissed. She was all nonchalant about it. Interesting that she knew exactly why I was still waiting. I guess it was a mistake after all? Not likely. Poor girl, she got a shitty tip as a result. Hopefully she’ll learn to be more honest or maybe just a little smarter next time.
