What happened on Saturday...

I stopped by my local pharmacy to see if any cereal was on sale. Found something I wanted for $1.88. When the cashier was ringing up the cereal it scanned at 2/$8. Thankfully, I caught that and told the cashier that it is supposed to be $1.88 based on the shelf price. He told me that this sale starts Sunday and that they put up the sale stickers early. Why would they do that? Thankfully, he gave me the cereal for the sale price anyway. I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. Good thing I noticed. When I got home and took out the mail there was an envelope from Northwell Health. It wasn't anything important so I threw it out. Then I took out my phone, went to FB, and the first thing I saw was an ad for Northwell Health. Coincidence? Something tells me it's not. Freaky. In the evening, hubby and I went to eat at a Peruvian restaurant close by. After we sat down the first thing we told the waitress is that we don't eat pork, shellfish, or crustaceans. And then we ordered our stuff. We ordered tender grilled veal heart skewers with Peruvian corn and slices of golden brown potatoes, sword fish with risotto, a side of yuca fries, mashed yellow potato cake with Peruvian cream and avocado, flan, and two drinks (pisco sour and chicha sour). The food was delicious but there were a few mishaps. Our sword fish dish had shrimp in it. The waitress never mentioned there is shrimp in it when we placed the order. Maybe she didn't know. Either way I guess she didn't tell the chef that we do not eat shrimp and to exclude it from any of the dishes. When the server brought us the dish we told her that we don't eat shrimp. She apologized, took the dish back, and brought us another one. However, I don't know if the chef actually re-did it or if he just simply took out the shrimp and brought us back the same plate. We never got our mashed yellow potato cake and when I asked the waitress about it she went to the kitchen and then came back and said they ran out. It was not a problem as we had enough food but when we got the bill I noticed that we were still charged for it. Good thing I checked the bill before hubby gave them the card. He went to the waitress and told her about it. She apologized and took it off the bill ($12). Hubby came back to the table to sign the credit card receipt and was ready to leave a tip when I took the corrected bill from him to double check things. I noticed that we were automatically charged an 18% tip. That is not supposed to happen. They can't automatically charge any tip. Hubby should've gone back to the waitress to ask her about that but didn't as he was gonna leave at least that much tip anyway. He was actually planning on 20% but we left it at 18%.
