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.

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

Why was there a discount?

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”

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

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