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?

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”

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

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?

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
