Errors On The Dining Bill, What Would You Do?

When you go out for dinner do you review the details when the server brings the check or do you assume it is right? Do you do a quick ballpark glance or do you look at each item one at a time and do the math? Would you bring it to the server's attention if there were an error (especially if that error was in your favor)? Would the type of dining establishment, amount of the error, or personality of the server influence your actions? Would your actions change if the restaurant was gay owned and operated?

I really don't care who owns and operates the restaurant. I just want to have a good meal and good service and an accurate bill. I would be very nice about any mistake that was NOT in my favor and ask them to correct it and I would also be very nice if the mistake was IN my favor and I would ask them to fix it. I have heard that servers have to pay for their mistakes and I don't want that to happen because of me. And even if that isn't true, I want to be honest as much as possible. It's very hard to be honest all the time but I try.
