$$ A Tip About Tip's $$

Let me pass this along as someone who eat's out at resturant's and bar's a lot (Can't Cook) I have caught a lot of waiter's and bar tender's uping the tip when i get my C/C statement this has happened from Cal to NC a way i found to stop it is to fill in your tip and total and also write the total on the merchant copy just as you would with a check i.e. $10.00 total check Ten dollars and 0/100.. just an FYI.

It only happened to me once and it pissed me off, so from then on I've been filling out the receipt completely.

Well Mike I just dont let the waitress/waiter have a chance to raise the tip... I was taught to always fill the tip in completely... LOL.

I thought this was a known thing. There is a blank, fill it in.

I do my best to use cash when a waitress or bartender is involved... Or anyone who gets "tipped"

same as reaper.i fill in the blank spot with green stuff.that way there is no question as to how much.

Come on Shane i am smarter than that lol I am not talking about the tip line being empty..!!! I alway's have put the tip. I have had them change what i put there and after i have recieved my statement gone back to resturant and confronted them ! Just saying now i also write the amount like a check as a way of making it harder for them to chicken scratch the #s i wrote to something else

Aussies don't tip so we don't have that problem. No one down under expects to get a tip either.

Before you get upset and say we are all mean spirited our wait staff get paid well. A junior (under 18) gets at least $14 per hour with most wait staff earning $20 to 35 per hour. Considerably more than the min wage in the US.

After having travelled in Asia way to often, I pay cash when eating out, that way there are no suprises later.

Me too! Since folks in the service industry get paid 2 bucks an hour in most states I prefer to leave cash that way they don't have to claim as much on their income taxes.

When ever I pay at a restauraunt I always use a stolen credit card so no worries for me!

LOL J/K!
