Waitress was instructed to give me the bill for my 2 daughters families. It was their birthday present. She gave my ex-wifes husband my bill and me their bill. She said she would correct it, but I stll got charge my ex-wife's bill on my card. Mine was $160 plus. Even though I made out on it, I am still sending a check to them for the difference. This is very annoying!
