piropos @piropos (312) • Philippines 29 Jan 08

piropos I think I trust the restaurant to charge me only what I have actually ordered and eaten so I don't check it. But my wife does and from time to time, she discovers some discrepancy in the bill, but usually it's because of confusion instead of a deliberate...
