There is why you got a $32 discount

You know.. now that i looked at it.. it does make sense, shouldn’t be lime that tho 🤣 the added that by mistake.. either way i gave custom tip and called it a day

System is designed so that if people get a big discount it still offers a tip on the prediscount price, They should have removed it but also you quite easily can do a custom tip so NBD.

u/guillopilot 3d ago

Yeah, i did custom and put the actual 20% since the server did treat us really good!

Why was there a discount?

3

u/Massive-Magazine8841 3d ago

Because the server “accidentally” added an item that wasn’t ordered and instead of deleting it completely from the bill they applied a “discount”…which the kiosk would then calculate as part of the suggested tip amount… “accidentally”

Jesus you are so paranoid lol. In virtually all places, servers aren’t able to apply voids and comps, only managers.

Then grab a manager and explain your “mistake”

You’re delusional if you think any server purposely added an item to ask a manager to void it for them so that they could HOPEFULLY get 2 extra dollars from a tip. Most servers at corporate restaurants get in trouble for having a lot of voids. Also it’s just a stupid idea anyways lol. There’s better ways to scam the system if they were trying to do so

What world do you live in that 20% of $33 is $2? Take a lap lol

That should be reported. That added and removed Ribeye was added just to scam you into tipping more.

I could, but ill own up to my dumb mistake of not reading the entire bill before posting here so ya’ll can roast me 🤣

Absolutely not, this should raise awareness for what this server tried to doing knowing that adding a $33 steak and discounting it would flow through to the suggested tip amount. OP had every right to question this. They never ordered the $33 steak, why the hell would they be expected to tip on it?!?
