I think it's only about inefficiency.
They have more chances to get extra tips when you pay in cash.
[QUOTE=Lou32;1715387]Great advice but I'd like to humbly add an additional note. At BB the staff will sometimes do whatever they can to "slow walk" your paying of the bill after a meal or a round of drinks. You will find getting a cashier's attention even when it is slow kind of tough sometimes. I strongly believe they do this partly because of Dominican efficiency (none) and partly to "encourage" you to run a tab.[/QUOTE]
I've just thought about another possibility.
Pay attention when chicas waving you standing near waitress, some chicas may try to tell to the waitress that you are paying for her drink and waving back may be misconstrued as your approval of such charge. Happened to me a few times.
[QUOTE=JjBee62;1714987]Food prices weren't bad, at least I thought they weren't bad, but 4 meals 4 bottles of water, 3 glasses of juice and 6-8 Presidentes somehow added up to $95 at checkout. So I was being charged about $15 for those $7 meals. By my math, my 4 meals cost about 1500 pesos total. By BB math, over 3000 pesos.
I guess the lesson learned is that everyone will screw you, given the opportunity.
And just for clarification DT does stand for deep throat.[/QUOTE]
