  Pretty sure the waitress wasn’t the one who fucked with the register. Probably the restaurant trying to ensure they don’t have to pay the difference if the tips come up short and leave the staff below minimum wage.

    I feels like reasoning like this is why it would never end.

      Shafting the waitress is not going to end it either. Most people wouldn’t notice this, so they’d still keep doing it if you didn’t tip.

      The play here is to tip the waitress in cash if possible and slam the establishment on every review site.

        If the worker or anyone else not gonna unionise or protest the government for a better minimum wages, then the culture gonna continue. Slammin and jammin the establishment will do absolutely nothing, as with all non-disruptive protest.

        I swear tipping is fetishized by american.

      Right?

      Most people just pay it out of obligation, and the occasional nerd calls us out politely.

      Her, whatever will we do?

    You think place like that distributes tips honestly?

    The “I’m just doing my job” defence. Nice.

      Are you comparing the waitress not proofreading the math on a preprinted receipt (arguably not their job) to soldiers actively committing war crimes?

        No. Soldiers are very much protected from such orders in most countries. They can’t be held responsible for refusing to follow an illegal order.

        I mostly hear the argument from civilians helping their employer commit crime.

  “Fuck you restaurant for trying to scam me, now I’ll only pay the correct 20% extra on top of my bill”

• Siegfried@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Yep, that’s a solid 0% for me

    Yeah that restaurant owner will certainly learn from the fact that they don’t legally have to pay their servers minimum wage and you still paid the owner what they would have gotten whether or not the server got a tip

    As another commenter said, in this situation pay the server in cash, and then review the restaurant badly everywhere you can

  The solution is to never step foot in the restaurant again not punish the server.
