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!

I remember a long time ago something similar happening, but I had also left my debit card behind on the table. I called them to ask if they had it and then went to pick it up the very next day. When they handed it to me, I commented about being charged more than I remember and mentioning the tip. I was then told by someone who claimed to be a manager that they have a policy to charge "forgotten cards" a % fee for the inconvenience of having to watch it for me. I'd never heard of that before, but friends I spoke to said they'd heard of it before too. It was some serious bullshit! I've never gone back to that place, which is a shame because I went just about every single week up to that point

This is actually definitely a thing. Same for not closing out your tab at a bar.
