Embarassing experience!
Sept 2, 2006 had dinner with friends at Marco Polo. Our total bill was $1,935.98. I placed (2)two 1thousand pesos bill inside the "black bill-holder". Then, realizing that the change would not be enough for the tip...I fished out another P1thousand pesos for breakdown for smaller bills. To make the story short, the waitress denied that she received only P1,500.00 and she only gave me back (5) 1hundred pesos from my 1thousand pesos, which the color of her face turned white when I showed her my wallet that I don't have any P500.00 bills...and why should I gave her P1,500.00 when my bill was more than P1,5k? And, I also told her that I was to give her the P500.00 tip. I was the one who was humiliated by this act of dishonesty for a few pesos. My friend's husband who was a German wanted to talk to the manager but I was the one who suggested to leave, don't want to make a scene and was so embarassed!I still left the other P500.00 for the waitress, maybe she really need it badly. So, diners, watch out for your bills!
