Re: Woman Fired over $200 Tip

In our state, there is no "cooling off period" for tips- If he left it, WITH decimal points and everything- he should be obligated to pay it-

Its not like some door to door salesman showed up at his house, bamboozled him into buying a set of encyclopedias, and then he had buyers remorse!

One must assume he has both 1) eaten in restaurants before, AND 2)paid with a credit card - so he knewwhat he was doing-

IF he had written 200 without the decimal pint, there might have been confusion, but if he wrote 200.00 WITH decimal points, he is responsible for his actions

Re: Woman Fired over $200 Tip

Keep the tip and move on. Oftentimes the news show where someone appreciates the service they receive and get a huge tip because the customers know it doesn't pay well and servers depend on tips. Oftentimes you see it as part of a "pay it forward" kind of thing.

And a week later - customer - - you snooze, you lose.

I think she should keep it and I also think Ihop should give her back wages for the days she lost being fired. If the restaurant paid out the tip then they should have had a better control system for tips paid by credit card.
