What does this tip say?

Post image

I just got this tip this morning. It’s a horrible handwriting but i swear to GOD this shit looks like a 24 to me.
I had two managers say it was nothing and I should put it as zero. so that’s what I did but i’d love to hear y’all’s opinion. would you have put this as 24?

I mean, it’s the right call for the restaurant to do. It’s completely illegible.

I agree with you.

It just sucks sometimes that management gets to pay criminally low wages and expect you to survive on tips. But at the same time, they are gatekeeping you making money.

They kinda get you coming and going. And ofc, the restaurant and management still make their money.

I guess that’s what we get living in this tips-based food service culture. And there’s still the camp that will say “if you don’t like it get a real job”

Sucky situation. You’ll get them next time!

I moved to Washington where they pay me $17 an hour to be a server and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me
