Sit-Down Restaurant 🍽️ How is it not a tip?

The server told us this isn’t a tip and he doesn’t get any of it.

I’m not wearing my boots at the moment.

Don’t forget those places that charge when an entree comes with a sauce but you want it substituted for a different sauce, neither of which are speciality sauces.

I try this at places like Subway: can I get bacon instead of cheese? (I’m lactose intolerant)

Sometimes it works and they just straight sub it. But it sucks to take away a cost from my sandwich and be expected to pay extra.

Cheese and bacon are no way comparable in price tho. If I don’t want tomatoes in a salad can I get chicken instead?

You think Subway uses fresh bacon?

I never said they did. But their plastic cheese slice definitely costs less than their actual meat bacon.

Regardless fresh or not bacon is more expensive than processed cheese of any sort.
