tear tabs?

[Peter A. McGraw]

I don't recall seeing the term "tear tab" before, but I imagine it refers
to some restaurant bills that come with a small perforated section at the
bottom which repeats the name of the restaurant and the printed serial
number that appears at the top of the bill, and provides a blank where the
customer can fill in the total amount paid.  I can see why this wouldn't be
acceptable proof of payment.
