be careful of restaurant double charges where they claim they've "reversed" the first charge

Boyzo, Boyzo I would have gone a bit offside - they reversed the 1st charge without telling me, OK, then let's see the printout of the reversal before I'm committing to the 2nd charge!

The CC issuer might agree that the charges look pretty similar, and rather than arguing, may give you a courtesy refund for the 1st transaction, and close the case.

it's not hard to dispute a credit card charge and in my experience the card tends to favor the card holder

Another possibility is that chargebacks usually take a bit of time to show up. If it hasn't been very long, it still may show up. If it doesn't I also agree that it is very likely your card company will refund the charge anyways.

Good luck!

I had a double charge by a small cafe in California. I disputed it with my credit card provider and they asked me to first request a resolution with the cafe. I did, and they quickly resolved it.

I suggest you start by contacting Mr. Fogg’s through their website.

Something similar has happened to us twice and both times it was resolved without much angst. In Munich the waiter said the first charge didn’t go through and ran it again. When both charges appeared on my bill, the CC company asked if I’d signed a receipt, and told me don’t worry when I said I had not. (Do people still sign receipts? This was a couple of years ago) and the second charge was eliminated. A cruise charged us for spa services we didn’t do, removed the charge while onboard, and it later reappeared on the bill. When I called to dispute it, the CC agent was adamant…No, she said, this was nothing to be disputed, this was fraud, and would only transfer my call to the Fraud department. That one took a few months, but was eventually removed. I’d remain optimistic. Good luck.

It has been plenty long enough. I'm curious if there are any paper receipts with this tapping process.

Yes, there are Tom.

I don't get receipts from restaurants or gas stations - they're consummables - I see a record of the charge in Apple Pay. I just take receipts for hard goods.

I'm curious if there are any paper receipts with this tapping process.

Absolutely. I always ask for a receipt. And if the charge is reversed, they can give you a receipt as well. Tapping is just a different way to use your credit card. The credit card machines can give receipts.

In case you wondered about those signs that say if you don't get a receipt your meal is free, I was reading a blog that said this is to prevent employees from scamming the owner by keeping payments

The reversal should be immediate. I purchased a dress last month in Ljubljana and in my haste pressed the button for dollars. I immediately told them I wanted euros. They cancelled the transaction, giving me a receipt which I signed. They then recharged the dress. I only had one charge on my card. And 3 receipts.

FYI in Italy merchants are required to give you a paper receipt for every transaction, even a coffee at a bar, and regardless of how you pay for it.

AND -- it is my understanding --- that you may have to show that receipt to the "tax police" outside the restaurant to prove that the proper taxes are being collected. No first hand experience but have read about it in different publications.
