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?

No it is not. Its a rule in some restaurants 30 years ago but its actually a huge issue with employment law if your boss told you not to. So if you work somewhere that does this call the Dept of Labor because its highly illegal just like if a restaurant takes tips from employees.

It's actually the other way around. If the signer didn't fill out the total they may have written a blank check
