I went out to eat yesterday. My bill was 65$. Was going to give the girl like 15$ tip. She took it upon herself to take a 50% tip which made my meal cost 95$. I caught it. And tipped her 0$. You are not entitled to the tip.

Sounds like a real story

I call BS, you caught her giving herself a 50% tip….

So she added it and expected you to sign without reading? Why wouldn’t she just adjust the amount once you’re gone and she’s entering the info into the point of sale?

Sounds made up as hell

Right? Like how the hell would they know what I entered into the register hours after they left....bullshit story.

That’s exactly what she did. The charge went through. I asked her when she walked by again. Checked my account. She went to the register. They canceled the transaction, why would I lie about this lmfao. You are weird

GOOD. The audacity?!!

That's called attempting theft. Tipping 0$ is not the right move, reporting her attempt to steal from you to the authorities is.

Seems you do care. Again I reiterate, call your credit card company. Hell, call the fucking police then. See how far that gets you when the cops laugh at you, or cite you for wasting their time.

"Wait, you called 911 to report that two weeks ago a bartender wrote in a tip that you dispute its validity?"

Pretty sure thats how you end up with a free ride in a police cruiser. Maybe theyll even light up the sirens for yah! Wouldnt that be neat!?

Oh oh, I know, you can go back and ask for the manager, then you can get a free ride in a police cruiser and get a first hand look at how "trespass" charges work!

One of the truly fucked up things about America, that benefits all of us in the industry, is that our laws benefit the businesses and owners over the customer, and generally err on the side of businesses rather than the customer. But hey. Thems the breaks. Dont hate the player. Hate the fucked up laws.

People are constantly "but but, in Europe no tips!"

Yeah Europe has strong consumer protections, liability laws, good minimum wage and great social services too. Maybe if you voted for the people who would institute those policies here, instead of stiffing working people, we wouldnt have to write in our own tips and call the police to trespass you when you come complain about it!

Then fuck the fuck off. You already have a better existence than we do, and you're out here bitching about us getting paid what we're owed.

Why the fuck did we even save you guys back in the old W W.

You have free healthcare and you're out here like "FUCK TIPS!"

Bro fuck you.

15 bucks? wow. 15% is industry standard..Id tip 15% on $100.

u/AgileAd2872 Aug 29 '24

Yeah I was going to give her like 20% we didn’t wait long the drinks were good. Everything was fine. Until she tried to take 50% tip

u/Vast-Commission-8476 Aug 29 '24

I don't know why i was down voted

u/AgileAd2872 Aug 29 '24

Idk either. I tip 15% always. They probably think the tip is owed to them also. Whatever.
