In golf the total doesn't count, you are not responsible for the math, only the correct hole by hole score.
I know that doesn't help, just thought I'd toss that out.
I called a friend who owns a restaurant and he was told by the credit card companies and somewhat confirmed by his attorney that the bottom amount is trump. But, which kind of sucks for the server, if a customer makes a math error the other way, and adds higher, they can put the charges through as signed for, but if the customer disputes the charges, they will get reversed and the correct math is used.
So it sucks to be a server in this, you lose both ways.
With as much credit card fraud happening nowadays, servers need to be looking at cards and reciepts closer anyways. I worked pizza delivery in college, and corporate credit card fraud now, I have seen it from both sides.
