These banker idiots are nothing new and they are a dime a dozen. One of the oldest tricks in the book is to have the items put on the check under open wine and bump up the number of covers. Do you really think the bean-counters who audit there expense reports are dumb enough to blindly accept that two extra lushes sat around and drank cheap wine with them and didn’t order dinner? Trust me, when these “high-rollers” get busted and lose their jobs for submitting shady expense reports, they’re going to come back into your restaurant and try to sponge off of you for “all the money they used to spend.“ Don’t get me wrong, it’s great having people show up and spend money, but these guys are not the geniuses you think they are. If their CFO thinks that your restaurant is complicit in ripping off his company, the memo that he sends out right after the pink slips will place your restaurant off limits for his entire company. Try to remember also that the computer system you have at your restaurant keeps track of inventory, covers and check averages for a reason and your manager can use that information to write your performance review as well.
