Should This Waitress Be Fired For This Tip Scandal?

[Mr KLC]

If she had not posted the receipt on line, I would say she would be OK, but the receipt was company property, and should not have been used. As far as this "so called" minister goes, if she is so upset about paying more than 10%, why didn't she at least 5%?

[Carseller4]

I'm getting tired of these people posting receipts.

It's part of the damn job. Got to take the good with the bad.

So quick to post a bad tip or comment, but rarely post a generous tip.

If restaurants were smart, they would ban this practice, and fire anyone who does it.

[Marv001]

Applebee's did fire the waitress.

[downsouth]

Whole thing is stupid. Shame on the women who wrote on the receipt and shame on the attention whoring waitress's friend who felt the need to post it. Two morons who I guess deserve their fifteen minutes of moron fame.

Chick posted a huge Peyton Manning tip and was fired.

[YouMama]

pay the waitresses min wage and then they dont have a reason to complain... 1.75$ a hr + tips, should be illegal... its BS

[TheMoneyShot]

Not trying to pull the race card here... but why is it always a black complaining about a tip and then using religion as an excuse? How about MAN UP and pay the tip... or just don't eat at any restaurant.

As for the girl posting the photo of the receipt. She should be fired because you can't post financial documents of a business online. I receipt unfortunately is a financial document. Therefore, Applebees did what they had to do and let her go

[nosniboR11]

yes she deserved to be fired

she should of been arrested also

[Emily_Haines]

black people always tip like shit

a zero tip should be of no surprise

[TheCentaur]

I understand the concept of mandatory tips on large parties, as these tables will be time consuming and keep you from having other tables to wait on. Even though I always tip 20% I think 18% is too much to be mandatory, and businesses making tips a majority of an employee's income is a bad American practice in general.

There are so many leaks in tax revenue in this country that never get scrutinized or even mentioned when these politicians start talking. In this case, unreported tip income, and in many cases cash payments under the table in restaurants. This is the norm in NYC for example.

[infamousbacardi]

My major concern with this tip is that she posted the part where the signature is as well. That showed the customers name and signature....as a company, you can imagine why you wouldn't want everyone thinking that the waiter/ress will post your receipt online after any given meal.

If she would have cut off the signature or cropped it out, to me personally, it would have been a different story maybe.

Posting a receipt with someone's signature and/or name on it, in my book, is entirely your last action as an employee of my restaurant.

The thing about it is you are going to pay one way or another. If business did away with the tip system and paid real wages to service staff they would have to increase their menu prices. I like the idea of the tip system as the customer can tip based on the quality of service. If you do not like tipping eat fast food or don't eat at restaurants. Simple solution.

I agree with what you are saying, I just don't like the mentality and attitude it creates in the server or whoever is working for tips. This instance is an example.

If he/she is a bad server, the owner will be told and that employee will be fired. None of the dealing with the scamming fake friendly douchebag attitude. Very rarely am I so happy with the service that I say to myself "that was great service, he/she deserves a good tip". No, they either do what they are supposed to do and don't spill a drink on me or they're awful.

[YouMama]

the patron, wrote a note to the server on the reciept, so wouldnt that make the reciept her property? an she be able to do whatever she wants with it?

[RudyRuetigger]

yes fire her stupid ass

But if remember correctly you are a conservative. So I would think you would not want socialized compensation for service staff. A true professional service person will do all the little things necessary to make sure your meal is an enjoyable one. If you consider that a false front to get $$$, so be it.

I see what you are saying. Unfortunately in this system service is not much improved while expectations from the staff remain high.

A Fox 2 News exclusive. What a fukking joke the "news" has become.

[The Kraken]

Yes. There has to be privacy for patrons when using CC's in a business especially because CC fraud is so prevalent. I thing regardless of personal opinions of the pastor, from a business perspective this was the right decision. It sounds like the picture had a legible name on it and that is unacceptable. Even without a name or CC number, I would say it shows a lack of good judgement, professionalism and should still be solid grounds for termination.

i also think the pastor is a giant juicy dusche. I noticed her tip was zero, assuming she didn't leave any currency on the table. Seeing as she doesn't have a problem leaving little notes on receipts, I'll assume the service wasn't bad or she probably would have written about that as well, so I cannot respect such a twat.

[Chi_archie]

someone set a line for the black "pastor" chick trying to hit the ghetto lottery with a lawsuit vs applebees

From what I understand she left $0 tip because she was already forced to pay the 18%.

[The Kraken]

That makes sense KB. I hadn't actually thought of that. I was thinking because she scratched out the tip that she intended to not pay the 18% gratuity but it may have already been factored into the total.

If what you're saying is accurate, I digress and don't really have an issue with that at all. 18% isn't all that bad of a tip, especially at Applebees. I don't see a reason to leave anything in addition to that unless the service is stellar.

[Chi_archie]

the Bill was 34.93

the 18% of that is 6.2874 ..... you can see the 6.29 tip added was crossed out. and she wrote in a zero

its a weird receipt in that they ask the customer to add the 34.93 and 6.29 and total it and give the optional of "additional tip"

she didn't tally the 41.22 but instead put the principle of 34.93 without ANY tip.

I did read somewhere that she did end up paying the 18%, i'm sure they insisted on it.

(i've heard of situations where the police were called when people refused)

[Kermit]

It was said in the video that the fat ass ended up leaving a $6 tip, but it was after the fact.

[Kermit]

(i've heard of situations where the police were called when people refused)

[Kermit]

This one here the restaurant admits they were busy and the people waited a long time.

[Foxx]

How does a group of 10 only spend $34.53 at Applebees?

That is like a party of 2 amount.

Oh, you're right. She did end up writing $0 but then also says she did give a tip. If she didn't tip then that's one thing, if she tipped after the fact that's another. Perhaps she tipped in cash.

That's a good question.

They probably split appetizers and had water.

they split the cjecks up but the restaurant still will do the auto 18%

[Mr KLC]

I remember when I was 16 years old, and won $1000 worth of free food from an Italian restaurant. At no time did any one from the radio station, or the restaurant tell us a gratuity would be required. When the bill came, it showed a $200 gratuity was owed. My dad took one look at it, and told me on was on my own. I never had such a hollow feeling in my stomach until that time, because we assumed that was included with the prize. All 20 of us got up, and left. Luckily, there were no repercussions from it. I really wasn't fully aware of the importance of tipping until then.

[darrell74]

if its in writing, you probably should pay it or you can get arrested.

if people are that unhappy with the service, they gotta stay the phuck away

[statnerds]

black people always tip like shit

for once i agree with your demented arse

having been all up in the service industry many years ago, americans of the african variety were always horrible tippers. close behind them were the sunday afternoon church peeps. cheap fukks.

fired? no. promoted? yes.

[Kermit]

Lebron James left a $10 tip on a $800 tab once.

[darrell74]

thats why i dont like Queen James
