Tonight around 10 pm I was ripped of at Santa Fe Bar & Grill in Seminyak by the waiter. Here's the scam:
The bill comes to you and on the left hand side half way up is your total. On the right hand side at the bottom is the 'cashier number' with a number that is in thousands looking like your total. My bill was 34,500 or so. The cashier number bottom right hand side was 61,000 which included the service. So I gave 62,000. I said I didn't need change. But then in my mind I thought that was too much money. So I went back and asked for the bill and saw what my real total was. The waiter came back and said that I had given 452,000 and that he thought the extra was his tip. I argued for a few minutes but they gave the usual 'I don't understand' and played dumb/innocent by repeating numbers on the bill to me.
Anyway, it was very clever. The bottom right of a bill is usually the amount you pay. And this guy thought I was giving him over R 150,000 tip?! My friend and I had 5 drinks and I think the waiter only brought me 1 and the rest and the snack was brought by the waitress!
Don't eat or drink there. Even after politely discussing this with several staff members they gave me bs and laughed.
