Waitstaff rant - the tip thieves

[TX_92_Notch]

To be honest, I never double check after the fact... Wonder how many times I got hosed.

<-- would go back in and buss some caps!

The only reason I notice them is because my old-school ass still balances my checkbook the old way. I record every debit card purchase in a register and check it against my statement once a month. That's when I see the differences, if there are any. It happens more often than you might think - this time I decided to take action.

I just want to see someone actually take accountability. She's a thief, no matter how small the amount. If she's willing to steal a dollar from me, she'll steal a dollar from a lot of people.

I'll either start paying with cash or making them enter the total amount in the computer and bring me the final receipt.

Mistakes do happen, but any server who has a "trend" of mistakingly giving themselves to much of a tip needs to be fired. Whether its 50 cents or 50 dollars.

We'll see what they have to say after they read my complaint. I was polite and stated facts. Also said I didn't want free food or a refund, that I wanted the manager to take accountability for his employees actions, not make excuses for them.

Nothing pisses me off more than to balance my checkbook and find where a waiter or waitress added a little extra to their tip.

Today, I found that the chick at Buffalo Wild Wings added an extra dollar to the 20% tip I left her earlier this month. I've never taken action before, but I'm tired of being ripped off one or two dollars at a time.

I called BWW Mesquite and talked to Richard, the manager on duty. He was very courteous and apologetic and asked to call me back after he found the transaction in question. He called back maybe three minutes later. That part impressed me.

Then he pissed me off. He says "oh, I'm sure she just made a mistake when she entered it. She made another mistake that day and the numbers in that one were kinda similar to yours". Bullshit. She stole a dollar from me and stole from someone else that day as well.

He offered to refund my money and offered to give me a free meal - fuck that. I don't want food, I want this little bitch to lose her job and I want him to tell her she's being fired for stealing from his customer - the customer that helps keep them in business.

And for you bastards that'll make comments, I'm not worried about the loss of one dollar. I'm pissed off about the principle of the whole deal. This shit happens too often to be considered a mistake. And I always tip 20% or more.

/rant off.
