I left a 15% tip and the total amount I made to the closest dollar amount that left no change on the end. When checking my charge online, I noticed that the server had changed the tip amount to make his tip an even dollar amount which gave himself about a 23% tip. A few days later I confronted the manager with the receipt in hand, and he became more concerned when I said "wasn't that fraud"? After that he went and checked the register and saw him shuffling thru some receipts, he then came back and gave the tip back that the server took for himself and also a coupon for two free meals. Not sure if he talked to the server involved or not, or to the other servers, but when we went back for the free meals a week later we got some very unkind stares and looks from some of the servers there. Like I'm the bad guy here for checking my receipt?? It wasn't the little extra money the server took but was the principle of the thing.

I know you got the free meal coupons legitimately, but the servers and managers are accustomed to customers making up all kinds of lies in order to get a meal they have eaten taken off the bill or "comped". For many cheapskates here, there is no lie too vile for them to stoop to to get something for free.....or to have a reason to leave a tiny tip or no tip.
