How do they cheat in restaurants?

We are already used to the fact that sometimes in restaurants, customers are deceived by "trifles". The greatest probability is to be deceived in the tourist center. It is noticed that the restaurants, far from the tourist trails, survive due to regular visitors and offer high quality services. In places where visitors are crowded, regular visitors do not play any significant role, so some establishments save on the quality of products, waiters display excessive bills, and cooks reduce portions. The problem is international and inherent in any country in the world.

17 ways of deception:

1. In meat dishes, instead of the 150 grams declared in the menu, the cook will prepare you a serving for 20-30 grams less. Some restaurants gradually reduce portions almost every week. The serving volume will be reduced, and the price is kept the same.
2. The underfed meat of the previous client is twisted and is added to the mince of the new dish. Spices easily interrupt the taste of "beushnyh" products.
3. Instead of cheap bread, which you ate, you will include expensive rolls, croissants, snacks. And also sauces, ketchups and other spices that you will not even bring to the table.
4. Coffee you will be served on the second call - from the previously used. In street outdoor bistros, branded hoax is selling a very weak coffee.
5. Hot mulled wine will be prepared from the cheapest wine sold in supermarkets in liter paper bags with dirty sediment and other incomprehensible contents.
6. This case is used when several people sit at a table. When everyone decides to pay for himself - the waiter uses the following. If you, for example, drank three mugs of beer and three checks are indicated in the bill, the waiter will cross out two. He will do the same with your other companion. Zatotrenty will pay much more than actually drank and ate, while you actually paid the real amount of your bill.
7. A big noisy company will be deceived by adding to the non-served beer. This is used if in total the company has a 15-20 mugs. The scheme "works" for other beverages.
8. In the bill, without specifying the price, just enter the names of the dishes. By the time of payment, most customers forget how much it cost. Remain or recalculate, looking for meats in the extensive menu, or pay the amount charged by the waiter. Most choose the second option.
9. Sometimes, the restaurant did not like, I did not want to give a tip. The waiter in this case will be long to seek change. You will have no time to wait, and you forgive not returned money.
10. If you order too many dishes, then the waiter is not bothered to include orders and friends in your account.
11. In drinks you will have too much ice, so you do not notice that instead of the prescribed portion, you poured less. If someone does not finish his serving in front, his remains will be returned to the bottle and get to your table.
12. You will be served beer or wine in mugs and wine glasses without a measure indicating the exact portion. This will not add you a few grams.
13. Instead of ordered quality food and drinks, you will bring products of lower quality.
14. If you order a cocktail, the waiters will well save the alcohol in the bar. In the juice pour less vodka, and in the cola less whiskey.
15. The alcohol you just dilute. Vodka - water, cognac - tea, branded vodka - cheap local.
16. If you accidentally break a glass or a mug, the waiter will need to refund its value. And you do not even know that the beverage companies often provide utensils with absolutely free additions to their products.
17. Waiters will include in the account incomprehensible additional services and non-existent taxes. Foreigners often take money for music and services.
