China Town Buffet Update

Last Wednesday evening several of us got together and were discussing the China Town Buffet Post on my Blog Site. Our waitress had overheard the conversation and said, not that all you can eat place over by Giant? I replied, yeah, that's the one.

She said, whatever you do, DO NOT pay them by Credit Card? Of course we all said, why? She said she had been there two different times and she paid via Credit Card both times and put the tip on the Card as well. She then added, BOTH times she was charged twice for each visit!

You see Folks, this is what these Blog Sites are all about. Although stories like this wouldn't be produced by the Daily Times, they are important stories in the sense that maybe this has happened to other people we all know?

I looked at our waitress, who was serving us food and drinks for several hours each time we go there, cleaning up our dishes, refilling our drinks, never allowing them to go empty and could speak english and she gets tipped some 25% or more. She also shared some valuable information for everyone to know about so they can better choose where they might use their Credit Card in the future.

I'd love to know if this has happened to any of you as well? She told us she immediately called the Credit Card Company and sent them copies of her receipts and they removed it from her Card right away. I heard this happens regularly in Ocean City and a quality restaurant will only allow one person to process Credit Cards to keep these transient workers from billing people twice.
