Buftex Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) As jaded as I have become over the years, every once in a while, I am still amazed at the human capicity to be extrodinarly kind, or incredibly ****ty... not sure which side of the ledger this one falls on... but it is one or the other. http://www.huffingto...nk3&pLid=373886 Edited September 12, 2013 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Skip out on tipping?? They got the whole $115 meal for free. Great scam!! I think Big Cat's got a better one going? :-P LoL... Would that be credit card policy? Was it their credit card, if so... That is big risk... Why would the CC not lay the hammer down on them. The would have to be some simple policy on this? Why would they reward them? Can't they just charge the 115 and then 25% extra. Like not signing a a paper check, they got the routing & account #... Just hit it. It is crappy side - the person wanted to skip out of tipping. Yeah... But they have their name and all... It was paid via a card. Huh?

When our card has been hacked we knew because my wife checks the cc transacions every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is quite the thread on this on Reddit. Apparently cc companies will put a hold on extraordinate tips and not allow payout until they investigate. Add in that her math is absolutely terrible and she can claim fraud very easily. It is hard for me to think she was being kind and tipping him but hey I'm jaded so....

BuffaloBill Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Skip out on tipping?? They got the whole $115 meal for free. Great scam!! I would think the restaurant has some recourse to collect for the meal. Given the tip is optional and discretionary the bartender is screwed. I hate people who are cheap with tips. I personally always tip well unless there is something egregiously wrong. I am especially careful and generous if it is an establishment that I hit frequently.
