<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 962567, member: 19065&quot;]I went to an brand new restaurant this past Friday evening. This place is run by a local business owner / restaurateur with just a two small neighborhood eateries. This is a new location, new staff, new menu, new procedures... Place was packed, everything from food to service to ambiance was spot on. Between myself and another person we had a very nice meal and four drinks. When the check came I noticed we were only charged for 2 not 4 drinks. I waved to the owner, he came immediately, I pointed out the descrepancy, he thanked us for our honesty and comped the 2 unaccounted for drinks. Despite this I would certainly have returned, but I clearly thanked him and indicated we <i>would</i> be returning. In the confusion of the new business, a small error by our server(s) happened. It was to our benefit and not only in the free beverages but to the owners excellent customer service abilities to handle the issue swiftly, helping us get out sooner, freeing a table in his establishment and accommodating more customers after us. I will point out that getting free drinks in a restaurant in NYC is darned near unheard of because that&#039;s where they make all their profit from, usually. I will also say that we didn&#039;t &#039;take advantage&#039; of this gesture, and left a more than generous tip to the hard working, albeit new and a little overwhelmed staff. </p><p><br /></p><p>Honesty does go a long way and presents its own rewards yet I saw nothing dishonest about the OPs auction dilemma.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
