A know a guy who is a bartender in a hotel.  He used to make quite a 
bit of money for himself on the side.  He hit the roof when the 
computer was introduced years ago. Then he found a way to work around 
it.  If someone purchases the same item that another person has 
purchased earlier then he presents the check twice.

All he got to be careful with is athe mystery customer and the date on 
the check, so he just does it to those he knows.
