Hypothetical Moral Dilemma of the Day

Last night at a family dinner, certain family members brought up a situation they'd recently been faced with and asked how the rest of us would have handled the situation. Here was the story as they told it: They went to dinner at a very expensive and overpriced but delicious restaurant in NYC. They had two bottles of wine between the two couples, enjoyed a nice dinner and then split the bill and went home. The next day, one of them noticed that they had been charged for only one bottle of wine instead of the two that they'd drank. So the two couples engaged in a debate about whether they should call the restaurant and tell them they'd been undercharged and give them $$ to pay for the wine, or should they chalk it up to the restaurant's incompetence and call it a day.

I won't tell you how it all came out, or what I said I'd do, but what would you do?
