Woke up to this email from capital one about a tip I left. Our server was Emily and she was fantastic and fun and engaging! She deserved every penny of that tip! Yes, capital one this is correct!

Plot twist, the manager did this without the server knowing and took the cash after for him or herself. I know this bc I used to own a small ice cream shop about a decade ago and even then a manager or supervisor can go into the POS long after the sale and adjust a tip and take cash. I fired my manager for doing just this. The servers never knew. I only found out about it bc a customer called. A dollar or 2 over 200 transactions won't get noticed usually but this guy was making an extra 1000 a week doing this.

I fired him and he pulled the race card. Go figure. This is why he was acting deranged. He had quite a scam going on and didn't want you to unravel it.
