A restaurant that consistently receives complaints

As I understand it, the owners are aware of the problem, but because of local labor laws, it is impossible to correct it. It is apparently very difficult to fire a long term employee. I have no idea if this is actually the case.

We do hang out there and find the waiter involved quite entertaining, in a "flim flam man kind of way. This happened to us once in one of our first visits and was immediately corrected when we brought it to his attention. It has not happened since. Perhaps it was an honest mistake, but it seems to happen frequently enough that I am dubious. Although you should check your bill at any restaurant, you should't have too.

I appreciate the intricacies of our labor laws, amigo, but I'm just trying to do "my job". I refuse to accept any excuse for a persistent problem that has been reported here time after time for over a decade and a half or so. There are simply too many other options.
