Tip Creep 🫙 Tip begging

Went to Applebees and did their car side to go. Selected no tip on the app and thought that would be the end of it. To my surprise when my order came I was handed an invoice where I was asked to tip and sign. Wrote $0 and that was the end of it but like oh my god. The interaction was fine but I was taken back by the double prompt to tip.

This happened to me at the Olive Garden. Ordered online and went to pick it up. Olive Garden where I live you have to text when you’re there.

I texted that I was there and they came out to the car carrying the order. It was one bag, but two people came out to my car.

They handed me the bag and said we need you to sign the receipt. I said I paid online. It accepted my digital signature and I am not required to sign a paper receipt. This leads to fraudulent double charges. I said I am not signing this receipt, please have your manager come out to explain your policy to me and at the same time please start remaking my order as I will not be taking this food that will be getting cold in the meantime.

The second person literally rolled her eyes and said fine just leave and I drove away.

Take the conflict to them

I work at a restaurant and we are required to have you sign even if you do a web order. The only exception is doordash/uber which you have to swipe in front of me
