Last night (1/31) I went to Crazy Fish with a friend. There was a man and young lady sharing all the tables. We told the gentleman right away that we wanted separate checks. Towards the end of our meal, he brought one check that was itemized by Guest 1 and Guest 2, with the total combined. The girl came by a bit later and asked if we were ready to pay, and I told her no because we wanted separate checks. Too many times have I been somewhere and it may look right on the joint receipt, but somehow an item gets charged to the wrong person. So she takes the check back, is talking to the guy, then comes back and puts it back down and says "it is separate" and walks away. They keep walking by and seeing we don't have payment out, and just ignoring us. The girl comes and asks again, and I repeat "no we want separate checks." She tries to show me on the check how it's itemized and there's a total. Yes I can see that, but the total is for both, we don't know what each of us owes. She's like "each individual total is the next line down look" and she points to the first item which was $7.50, under Guest 2. I'm like "no, that's the first item for Guest 2. How would Guest 1's $13.99 rolls add up to $7.50?" And point out there's no individual total. She goes "oh" and walks off with the check. The guy comes back a few minutes later and says "I hear there was a problem with the checks" and I told him we want separate ones. He says they are separate, can't I see the two different guests? I tell him the same thing that we don't know our individual totals. He says that that's their system and that's how it is. I try to laugh it off and give him an out like "oh that's a stupid system huh" and he goes "no it's a great system" and walks away. At this point it's like principle for me, because of how they're acting, so no I will get the damn checks separated I can be petty too. He comes back again and asks if we're ready, and this time I'm like "no because I want two separate pieces of paper that have a total for each person. Can you do that?" And he literally tells me I should be able to do the math and find out the total. He's like "see this $9.95 you round to $10 and then the next one you round to $14 and add them together" I tell him "ya but that's rounding and that's not the exact total, plus there's that 7.625% tax, am I supposed to bust out a calculator and figure that for each person?" And he says "yup" and walks off. He comes back with with TWO SEPARATE CHECKS, so it can obviously be done. I ask him what they do for large parties and he straight up tells me they do the same itemized check and people figure it out. WOW. I absolutely know that's not true, because me and the same friend have been there for a large birthday before and got individual checks. I don't know why he wanted to purposely be obtuse like that. I don't think the girl knew, she seemed more like the host/busser/runner. What if I was struggling and/or embarrassed, and needed to know my total to figure out if I had enough on my card or needed cash or something?? Like wow. I still tipped 20% because I know the cost of living these days, and I ALSO SERVED FOR 12 YEARS. And to be honest part of me wishes I hadn't. Never have had an interaction like that and will be walking on to another place if I see that guy serving next time. read more
