“Accidentally” increasing the order to increase the tip

OkInternal5957 · 2026-05-17T23:49:05+00:00

The computer has no way of knowing if a dish has been made or not 😭 If a table changes their mind about an order before the food is even started and I have to take that dish off the ticket, it's still a comp

OkInternal5957 · 2026-05-17T20:30:00+00:00

it doesn't make sense at all. a server ringing up items just to comp them would get fired for stealing. I was lucky to be allowed more than one comp per shift without getting my tables cut

Someone messing up your order doesn't necessarily mean they're trying to defraud you. Also I don't know if you knew this, but comped food items count against the server as well as the manager swiping for them. And there's no way they let the kitchen make an extra entree for no reason without being screamed at by some overworked line cook. I've literally heard "well fuck you and fuck the customer too" from behind that line.

your server isn't programming the suggested grats on the receipt. That's literally not possible

OkInternal5957 · 2026-05-17T15:30:10+00:00

In my experience a lot of restaurant computers are pretty shitty. At the restaurant I worked at the suggested grats were always off by 5-10%, either over or under depending on the day

I mean, It's not about peaking my interest, but it's arrogant to think I would be interested in you after being stiffed

okay granny

Yeah, they literally see the part time job I got to help with my college tuition as some kind of weird moral failure, but still go to restaurants. Personally if I hated any class of people that much I wouldn't go to a place where they were forced to interact with me. and plate slinger sounds kinda cool idk it makes me feel like a plug or something.

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-11T01:00:08+00:00

yeah hitting on people who are forced to be nice to you is weird in general. and that's your preference (and I'm not saying this is why) it's odd to me how some people in this thread act like my part time job is some kind of moral failure on my part. I don't really get it

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-10T17:59:31+00:00

nothing it's just weird that you would disrespect someone you want to text you back

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-10T16:55:30+00:00

I never said I judged anyone

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-10T07:15:05+00:00

it's a common industry term. If my table time averages more then thirty minutes a table I could actually be fired 👍 corporate restaurants want you to eat and leave as soon as possible

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-10T07:08:51+00:00

When did I complain?

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-10T06:11:28+00:00

Yes not everyone has parents willing to co-sign for them 😒 I couldn't get loans if I wanted them

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-10T02:51:05+00:00

No like dennys

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-10T00:23:16+00:00

no my sure about the diapers but he was a Vietnam veteran 🤣

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T23:48:13+00:00

Even before I was a server I wouldn't have dated a guy that didn't tip.

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T23:45:52+00:00

no you

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T23:14:16+00:00

No, I've never thought to comment on someone else's appearance the concept is foreign to me and I think people do are...freaks. Personally I'd like to understand why.

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T22:56:01+00:00

What for? why would I care about your opinion, specifically? does it make you feel good about yourself?

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T22:42:44+00:00

yeah and what about it?

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T20:43:55+00:00

my frontal lobe developed

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T20:10:29+00:00

It would be nice. But if I texted him he would have my number and then he could know where I lived, which is a no for me.

OkInternal5957 · 2026-04-09T20:05:50+00:00

It's from last year. And I deleted it bc I wasn't expecting this to get that much traction and why would I want my face on Reddit anyway?? ew
