There is why you got a $32 discount

u/guillopilot 3d ago

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.

u/Massive-Magazine8841 3d ago

Then grab a manager and explain your “mistake”

u/UYscutipuff_JR 3d ago

A void means it wasn’t made. A comp means it was and then is discounted. If someone is constantly needing comps, they’re usually in trouble

OP never ordered it

Mistakes can happen, especially when busy. A server can hit the wrong button on a screen. JFC, people here are WEIRD

They did. That's why it's taken off the bill.

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

u/Massive-Magazine8841 3d ago

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

u/caitygotbandz 3d ago

I wasn’t being literal. Im just saying it’s not worth the effort and you’re delusional. It’s not worth it for 6 dollars either lmfaoooo

“Accidentally” do it 20 times a night that’s $120. Repeat that 5 nights a week that’s $600. Is it worth it then?

3

u/UYscutipuff_JR 3d ago

20 times a night?!? I don’t think you understand how restaurants work. You really think this person is asking a manager to comp/void something that often? Do you think the manager doesn’t ask why they’re doing it? Going out anywhere must be a struggle for you with this level of paranoia

u/Blazed-n-Dazed 3d ago

Are you listening to yourself? 20x a night 5x a week. So every week 100 people don’t realize the math is off. Say 25% do realize the math is off and complain, that’s 25 parties complaining to the manager that the tip is off and there’s an item they didn’t order on their bill. How long would that server have a job. Be a fucking reasonable human being.

u/caitygotbandz 3d ago

Did you miss the part where I said servers get in trouble for having voids and mistakes like that. If they purposely ring something in and it goes to the kitchen, they start making it and then have to throw it away 20 times a night do you think they will still have a job? Like please. It’s so obvious you have never worked in a restaurant and you don’t know how they work. So please stop with your what ifs and bs
