Scamming or honest mistakes?

Last night I was charged about $31.00 at a local convenience store for a few bottles of soda, paper towels and some ice, and some paper plates.

I didn't think about it until this morning, but I went back and they told me that the bill should have been $21.00. Still overpriced, but I was overcharged $10.00 last night.


Last weekend some people I know dined at a Grove restaurant. They were using a gift certificate. The restaurant padded the bill by adding things on that were not ordered, like a whole steak dinner and they also doubled up on the desserts. When asked to see the bill, they gave one of the diners a hard time, assuming that since it was a gift certificate, they didn't need to see the total.

Could these two instances be part of the problem of why people refuse to return to the Grove? I know times are hard, but scamming people is not the way to make up for a poor economy.
