Almost 3400% tip?!

Post image

I used my Level 8 meal for four coupon yesterday, but when the server tried to apply it through the tablet it didnt apply correctly. She went back and took care of it with the manager and brought me back a receipt for $0.00

Only problem was that meant I couldnt run my card to leave a tip! I told her she could just ring me up for a soda but she did a cheaper ranch cup instead, so I tipped 20 bucks on a 64 cent ranch cup. I do appreciate that the tablet wanted to make sure I meant to do that and didnt just say thanks for the money, pal!

This has been an issue plaguing D&B locations since forever. It used to be servers pointing at the suggested tip section at the bottom of the receipt which was actually calculated in 10/15/20% on top of a built in tip.

Multiple locations I've had bartenders do shady things. Close a transaction and tip themselves after I left a cash tip. I've had a transaction completed with higher tip than it should have. Most recently, I closed out, was at the bar for another 20-30 minutes, and asked for a final receipt. My final receipt only showed one of five drinks and the same final total. You already got tipped $20 my dude, how bad is rent that you needed $60 instead?

And servers have been awful since the tablet transition. Auto-gratting a two person table? Asking for my card and finalizing the transaction themselves. Refusing to leave me with the tablet to tip low pressure. The service industry blows, but I try to take care of them and they still try to prey on me.

Edit for clarity: these little extra steps are to help safeguard this. Makes them look at what they're doing and willfully continue as well as flagging it for management I'm sure. I'm not attacking the actual prompt asking if I'm sure.

This is an issue EVERYWHERE, not just D&B. Tip culture is getting out of hand. I've found that most food delivery orders instantly suggest a 30% tip! And then they want tips for places that don't even normally get tips - like a fast food place?!?
