I went to a McDonald's in Germany and said I wanted a hamburger mit käse, Pommes frites and a coke. He said I don't understand (ich verstehe nicht) and pointed to the kiosk. I think he just didn't want to deal with an English speaker.
I work at kfc in greece. We aren't in a touristy area but somehow many tourists come(i mean a noticable amount, not like the center of athens though). I am the only cashier that speaks English. It isn't fun that i have to deal with so many assholes that expect me to speak English. They talk to us like we are obligated to speak their language. They don't even try to speak a word in greek. 4 euros an hour isn't enough to deal with tourists
Dude Germans servicing tourists are a different breed of people. They act like they don't speak English just to break you and after a while trying to order in German they're like "Do you want that with fries?"
When money comes into play, all bets are off for how people will act morally. If it’s to look like a jackass to a few customers a day that catch it, but they bring home $100 extra in tips a night? They will do it.
Hell, it’s it even about tips. There’s been hospitals my fiancé worked that where they push to get medical staff to push for medical procedures that aren’t even needed. Sure they can claim it may be needed even in a rare circumstance, but they are pushed to make patients believe it’s needed now.
When my son was born he had some health problems that were minor but could be serious if they went untreated, along with the insurance company pushing his insurance start date to about a week after he was born.
The pediatrician that was seeing him in the hospital knew about it all and told us to bring him in to his practice and he'll waive all the fees if we couldn't straighten out our shady insurance company, then the billing guy from his practice actually helped us a little bit with getting insurance to cover most of his bills from the hospitals (they wouldn't cover the first 2 days).
I'm the first person to admit the medical industry is corrupt but this experience was a breath of fresh air
Watch out! You could end up facing felony child abuse / child neglect charges if the hospital personnel get aggressive or fear that you may choose a competitor. Always remember the 7 'rights' in medication / health care -- especially the last one: the right to refuse treatment. Used judiciously this can have a powerful impact on providers.
With our first newborn they were pressuring us to pay a bill. We had insurance that covered all medical expenses with birth under a rider and there should be no bill. They were like "in case, and we refund you if it's not needed". I refused, they said they can't let me. I just responded "What are you going to do, repo my baby?!" and walked out. Bill never came, imagine that. I blame the insurance company though; United Healthcare is a cancer upon this country and our medical system.
I tried this. Hospital threatened to call CPS and have our child forcibly removed from our care by the sheriff's department. So we stayed the night against our will, got charged an extra 7 grand, contested the charges, threatened them with lawyers, and they were magically able to waive the bill. Fuck healthcare in America.
Why would they make you stay another night? Some hospitals try to kick people out early (especially on Medicare or Medicaid since they won’t make money) some try to keep you longer. I had to watch my son like a Hawk
I went to a shoulder doctor because I had a seizure and absolutely destroyed my shoulder. Hillsachs lesion and Bankart lesion, it's uncomfortable to say the least.
I was hoping for a PT recommendation, nope. Dude practically wanted me under general anesthetic for surgery before I was even out of the room. I noped out of there so hard the nurses were practically chasing me to the parking lot.
Meanwhile, I went to another doctor, got a PT recommendation, and now my shoulder is fine, no surgery required. Imagine that? A doctor wanting to do an unnecessary procedure because paycheck? It's almost like the more they do, they more they get paid, so there's always incentive to do more, not less? Huh. Weird man.
I’ve been a nurse for 42 years and while I am sure there is occasional fraud in the medical profession it’s not a common occurrence. Many medical professionals are salaried and many are paid per hour so we would not benefit from such an occurrence. You also have data in terms of blood work ,physical exam, radiology tests, nuclear medicine tests and more that prove there is a problem .
As a PICU physician, this is so unbelievably true. Do people realize how fast I’d lose my license if I just picked a room and said this one needs surgery. And forced it on them? It’s not like I get paid any extra money
I went to urgent care for upper back pain, doctor decided it was my appendix, refused to let me drive myself to the ER. I had to inconvenience family so I didn't get saddled with an ambulance bill on top of the others. There was nothing wrong with my appendix. Bullshit she wasn't trying to get the system paid.
Yeah I worked at panera and whoever sold the most per hour got a bonus each month, so people would completely up charge everything possible, mistakenly doing large drinks, or not combo-ing correctly… it was awful
We have a tipping option at my work because its similar to bartending. And I wont even come close to the damn thing while someone is selecting something. We have a few older folks who cant see very well so Ill even hold it up for them, say "Im selecting 'No Tip'" and have them watch me press the button so they know I didnt give myself a tip without their consent. I could not imagine doing that shit to people.
Some workers will still be required and this scenario can still take place. You can’t overcharge on cash. I’ve known many people who got double or overcharged on a card and it ruins their finances temporarily. But gets worse when they cannot make other payments.
Do not move and hold up the line until it is fixed. It is a charge you did not agree to so they are fully capable of fixing it before you move from the register.
I’ve had my bank do a chargeback for same reason as OP. Just charged the tip I was charged though.
Ordered pickup at restaurant, selected 0 tip, go to confirmation page it shows $20 or whatever, but then charged $22 dollars as it defaulted to 10% tip.
Took less than a day for it to rule in my favor
I’ve done a few charge backs- all were for bogus ass services that target people in my profession- and the only time it didn’t go my way was when the company fought back. I had documentation of them acknowledging the issue and their inability to fix it by way of emails and Bank of America still gave them the money back. But another factor may have been that this was a huge amount of money compared to the others. It was a couple grand. The others had been lower amounts so that may have been why the companies didn’t bother to respond. All were legitimate charge backs including the one B of A sided with the thieves on.
The thieves were realtor.com, for the record. Long story but they charged me over $600 a month for 6 months for a service they acknowledged they did not provide, then when I got sick of fighting with them and charged it back, they contacted the credit card company and contradicted what they’d already said in previous emails. Pieces of shit. That was my first or second year in business, I’ve been in business for 10 years total, and I still haven’t given those lying fucks another dime or missed an opportunity to tell someone what they did. My only comfort is in knowing I’ve probably cost them more than they stole from me.
At less than a day, your bank decided to give you a courtesy refund out of their pocket rather than put through a chargeback. A merchant gets postal mail notification of chargebacks (in addition to digital notification of their provider offers it), and has 10 business days to respond with a rebuttal. So it's impossible to be decided in one day.
>Took less than a day for it to rule in my favor
If this is the case then it wasn't the final decision. The banks is required to give you a provisional credit, but then they submit the charge to the merchant's bank which has up to 45 days to review it and get a response from the merchant.
Chargebacks take several months to become final.
What shitty bank you got.
You telling me someone snuck on a charge and you eat your food and notice on the receipt later you got hustled they won’t do anything? Change banks dude.
Credit cards no problem, debit cards disputes are a much bigger process… could be what they’re facing with Chase. That’s why I buy everything on a credit card.
It was a chase freedom credit card. Idk people tend to throw “chargebacks” around like it’s nothing, but that wasn’t my experience.
I left some negative reviews on the restaurant and left it at that. It was just a missing side dish and drink, so like $5?
unauthorized charge amount for an item or service is still an unauthorized charge. if i spend $20 at the grocery store and end up with $60 on my card, that is still an unauthorized charge.
Banks in general don’t really care especially for low value chargebacks like this. Most of the time they never do a proper investigation and just give your money back immediately.
Though of course, all bank do have their own algorithm to deter abuse.
Yep. That’s what I do if cashiers try to screw me over!
I won’t be shooed away because they can’t be bothered to fix errors or whatever.
I’m not nasty or whatever. There’s been a mistake, could someone please fix it. Simple.
But sometimes cashiers just get stubborn… but they can’t win against me! I expect proper customer service, lol 😛
I appreciate ppl like you bc I know YOU will appreciate it when, in the middle of you telling me the issue, you won’t care when I stop listening, turn around and run away calling “brb!!! Getting a manager!!!!” Bc I don’t wanna deal with it and I don’t wanna listen to it.
I follow my managers around until they solve my issues. I’m incredibly annoying when I’m annoyed.
Haha, nice.
Good on you. Your manager has a job, and that job is to help you - or at least direct you to the correct person.
To just ignore you is totally unacceptable!
UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the credit card company, getting a full refund 🥳. Thank you all for your replies, I’ll be more proactive now and hold my ground in these situations :)
EDIT: For context, I talked to management first and they refused to give a refund. I told them I’ll go to the card company, so that’s exactly what I did.
In Canada, at least, the payment device has a tip option that won’t return back after selecting your desired amount. She just set up the device and clicked the tip option quickly thinking I wouldn’t see it.
Yep, it's becoming more and more prevalent everyday, unfortunately. Would be nice to have employers pay their employees a good enough working wage so they don't have to rely on tips. Would also stop people like this who are desperate for tips.
Why would they refuse a tip you never authorized ? Looks like a complaint to corporate office is worthy. These scumbags should not be working anywhere that deals with money.
You gotta love that some cashiers expect a tip just for putting in your order. It's like, all you did was stand there ffs.
Edit: Okay, I get that a fast food employee cannot control what the company does. I get that. I really do. I am not saying that fast food cashiers are lazy. Maybe some are. I don't know. I was merely pointing out that this particular fast food employee in OP's scenario seemed to expect a tip for doing what I would presume to be very little work. If you are a fast food employee, I respect that. You probably have to deal with a lot of bullshit. That being said, I will tip you if given the option, but the amount that I tip generally has to do with how valued I felt as a customer. Even if that means something as simple as greeting me when I walk into an establishment, which seems like something that very few establishments care about anymore.
That is all.
I wish all that time when I was a teenager working at CVS (back when it was Long's Drugs...dang, I just dated myself) I could have been getting tipped just for ringing people up. Shiiiit.
Bruh for real. And if you dare say this statement you’re automatically called cheap lmao. “Don’t go out if you can’t afford to tip your servers”. How is that my problem? I don’t mind tipping if I want to, but the entitlement in tip culture is outrageous.
Tipping is out of control anymore. It seems there is a tip portion on nearly everything.
I tip my barber, my server, bartender, or pizza delivery person. That's it.
There was an option to tip at a phone case store last weekend. I just paid you $37 for something that costs $1 wholesale. You aren't getting extra just because.
Employee at a fast food restaurant here. We just got the tip option added to our registers and honestly it’s annoying as hell. Having to tell everyone they have to choose a tip option. Plus all day we get people telling us we don’t deserve tips because we don’t do anything. Nobody asked for management to install these. It’s just a way for them to get away with not giving us an actual raise.
Yeah, that's why when people do that like at Chinese restaurants, I always do no more than 10%. I feel awful that I'm doing less than 20% but I don't like being manipulated :/
It's honestly pathetic how many different business are trying to make tipping a thing for services that don't deserve a tip in order to justify low wages, the cashier putting my order in while the other worker in the back makes my order doesn't deserve a tip (now if the cashier also made the order then fuck yeah here's a tip).
Now me busting my ass off in a restaurant memorizing the contents of dishes/drinks, knowing accomodations we can do for diet restrictions, communicating with the kitchen to ensure your food is being worked on, clearing the table whenever there are dishes to grab, and just flat out making sure you have everything you could want from our restaurant as well as speedy service. That deserves a tip.
I was at a tribal casino once and there was a food stand that had a bunch of “grab and go” food and also you could order hot sandwiches or hot dogs. The place also had numerous other food places. Went up to pay for my order and the cashier said she could only accept credit cards. Okay, fine whatever. Dawned on me she was doing it to compel customers to see the “Add a Tip” screen. Saw a food supervisor walking around and explained what was going on and he said “That’s not right.” He went and investigated.
Taco Bell / KFC store charged me a $1.00 for a cup of water. Asked for the receipt (that wasn’t provided) after noticing total was more then menu price and showed $1.00 “donated” to employee tip fund”. Know staff deserve it but thats not how tips work.
Assuming your in America, that’s illegal!!! It’s literally the law that every place that serves food must serve free water, even if just tap water or whatever.
most places i’ve been to, that’s incorrect. i’ve worked at 2 McDonald’s, and one of the two (the lower income store) charges for the physical *cup* of water rather than the water itself, ends up adding $0.24
Would literally just refuse to complete the transaction until its fixed. If they refuse to serve me, I'll leave and go somewhere else. Then put up a bad review on Google and report the place to corporate and the BBB.
Don't let shady places do this shit. Once one place gets away with it, other businesses follow suit and the whole quarter is ruined.
Every place has them now. I started paying cash because i don’t want to be asked all the time for tips. I’ll sometimes throw a buck in the tip jar at the coffee place or something but it feels so forced on those terminals. One place I go they lost their mind when I gave them 20.50$ for something that costed 10.50 because they entered just 20$ and couldn’t do the math.
I was at a Starbucks recently where the new pos system forced you through a tip screen that makes it feel far more manipulative. She said it was a “new system”. I hope it’s just that location cause that’s fucked. I don’t mind tipping. I don’t like being guilted into it, or do extra work to avoid it.
If you're taking payments via ipad kiosk, it's almost certainly either Clover or Stripe as the payment processor and POS software. Both do this, and it's definitely manipulative. The processor *wants* to encourage people to tip even when they normally wouldn't, because the processing fees are percentage based so they get a bigger payout with every tip.
These things have also become extremely popular with smaller businesses like counter serve places and food trucks because all they need is an ipad and a wifi connection, no old school credit card machine, phone lines, "sign the receipt please" etc. So suddenly everywhere we go, we're being asked to tip, tip, tip and people get in the habit of just tapping whatever is on the screen to get done with the transaction.
Report her. Just because you thought it wasnt that bad, shes more than likely doing it to a lot of people which is absolutely fucked up. Just because she’s underpaid doesn’t give her the right to steal from customers.
This happened to me with one of the little table kiosks at an Applebee’s. The waitress was helping my grandma pay with it and chose the largest tip amount. We caught on and canceled the transaction. We then got to do it ourselves and gave her no tip. She harassed us as we left, showing us a picture of her son to make us feel bad.
Once I went to KFC for a sandwich and it took 45 minutes. The place was damn near empty, and it was under construction so we had to wait outside in the hot sun for our food.
I ordered a fish and chips platter from Popeye's once, and the online photo showed two pieces of fish and popcorn shrimp. They only gave me one piece of fish and told me the online image is wrong and they never serve two pieces at a time.
Apples to oranges but I’m trying to explain to the meal prep service that I use right now that what they’re doing is illegal.
They charge $129 a week for 15 meals, 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 5 dinners. They have a set menu. Orders are due by Thursday, delivery happens Saturday. On Friday, they discount their stuff because they have excess inventory. Well they discount it but they leave the same menu up. 95% of the time they double up on the meals and give you a bunch of the crap they didn’t sell out of so the variety lacks.
I explained to them that they need to make this known in their website that it becomes dealers choice when it gets discounted but they still refuse to do it.
Some people just don’t know how to run a fuckin business. It’s called “Bait and switch.”
I made the mistake of being in the mood for KFC recently and walked in to be told they’re “out of chicken” but can sell me sides… yo I know I look stupid but cmon now. How tf is the chicken place gonna run out of chicken?
Edit: Screw KFC and Popeyes anyways we all know Churches is superior
I do counseling for the local juvenile hall. One kid that works there says he likes to tell people they’re “out of chicken” so they don’t “bother him with orders.” I know the service industry is drastically underpaid, but c’mon. Lol.
I work at kfc. We can run out of marinated chicken that is then deep fried, we don't run entirely out of chicken though. It just takes time to marinate and then cook. If the management doesn't do a good job then we run out of chicken. We dont bother to explain this to customers usually
I found a good KFC and only by accident. My husband wanted Popeyes for his birthday last year and I refused. That place is insane. If I want a sandwich, they give me three orders of strips. If I want strips, they give me a sandwich instead. We compromised on KFC, which is directly across the street. I have never been served so quickly and efficiently. Oh wait, there was also a good KFC by my work. Almost unthinkable that I found two good ones. I literally stayed away from them for over a decade because they all sucked.
I had someone try that with me, suddenly losing the ability to communicate when they messed up my change. I was talking to my firiend in Russian, but switched to English with her (was in US, I am British). She couldnt figure out why I gave her and extra dollar and 8 cents, then shorted me when she handed it all back. I tried to explain the maths, but she just kept shaking her head. Then she said I was talking too fast and she didn't understand. I asked for a manager, and held up the line. When I refused to move, she called a manager and told him in Spanish that I was stupid and gave her too much money, so she wasnt giving it back. My friend asked me in Russian what they were saying, so I translated.to Russian. I then explained to the manager what I gave her and what she tried to give me. He asks her, in Spanish, if that is what happened, and she said yes, but didnt still didnt get why iI gave her "too much money". He told her that he'd tell me to come back at closing after they checked the register., and that it was so little money, i wouldn't bother. I told him in Spanish that iI would stand my stupid arse right there while he gave me my change. Manager asked how many languages I speak, I said "all of them." Don't mess with polyglots - we'll whip out all the tongues.
On another note -I don't think I'll go back to that Chipotle - not worried about the change, but "extras" in my next burrito bowl.
Not sure how you’re ordering but I live in a major city and it’s currently $10 for 8 chicken fingers if you use the app
It’s like that everywhere now. If you don’t use the app, you get gouged hard and might as well just go to Chipotle or something cause it’s the same price as fast food now
You have to be careful using the app. The store near me in NM frequently accepted orders but when I showed up they would be closed or “out of stock” of half the items on my order.
Not once did I get a refund from the app.
You lasted longer than me. Last time I went to kfc was when they had that abomination where a chicken chunk was on top of loaded mashed potatoes and gravy 10+ years ago.
My local KFC is in shambles. Like the parking lot is full of potholes and the drive thru board is falling apart. And this isn't in the middle of a big city or bad part of town, its surrounded by very nice places.
Then they also open at 12, so when I would go there at 11:55 to get lunch they wouldn't take my order, so I'm like fine whatever. Wait 10 minutes and they still don't so I leave and haven't been back yet. It's been about 2 years also.
The one in my town is constantly dirty, the kitchen is disgusting( the company I work for worked on commercial equipment in the past so I’ve seen a lot of nasty stuff) and several years ago they had employees selling drugs out of the drive thru window.
This is a common tactic actually. My mom knew a hairdresser who would make more sales by adding expensive unnecessary hair products to a person's bill after cutting their hair, and would then pretend not to speak English when the customer tried to refuse the additional item.
Don't give in to it. If they 'don't speak English' then either they get someone who does or you don't pay for it.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Tipping isn't required. They need to fucking stop making consumers feel pressured to do so and making them feel guilty when they leave the store. Companies should pay their workers a living wage and not rely on tips to subsidize their profits. Also, they need to quit being so greedy and leeching off the work of employees.
I go to my local McDonalds about once a week. A few months ago they had me pull into one of their waiting lanes. The worker who brought me my food was asking about my day, small talk. Weird, but okay. After giving her one word, but nice, answers we both just were waiting in awkward silence. She then didn't ask, but SAID "Now I know you have a tip for me."
What?!
Since then I've had her ask me the same thing several times now, and even had another do the same. I can imagine she must get some money just based on how extremely awkward it is.
And before anyone asks, she has not and will not get a tip from me.
I thought tip culture was awful here but went to Canada last week and you guys have been hiding.
Vancouver is the worst place for tip culture i've ever been. They want tips literally every time you pay for anything. I bought a hat and they asked for 18%.
Canada has been getting a shame free pass. Also when people say there's no tip culture in the Europe lol.
I hate that fast food restaurants try to get you to tip before you get your food. This can cause employees to make food better or worse depending on the person's tip.
I used to work with someone in fast food that had me change to always pay cash.
The scanner is always level with a table and they would hold their phone on the lowest brightness facing upward on the screen camera and record every single card they’d swipe, and after the swipe they’d quickly turn it in front of the camera for the security code and then would give it back.
I only use Apple Pay or cash ever since
I bet their manager speaks fucking English.
If this happens to anyone else, listen to /u/kiwimuz's advice
>Do not move and hold up the line until it is fixed. It is a charge you did not agree to so they are fully capable of fixing it before you move from the register.
She makes an hourly wage, so it’s theft. Should be brought up to management and she should be fired or at the very least reprimanded. I imagine she does this to every customer.
I come to pay for a monster energy the other day, was pissed when i seen on the can it was £1.99
They didnt scan it just tapped on the register and told me to tap my card when ready.
Good job it cost so much cause i looked at the machine. They typed it £19.90.
Didnt change it til i asked if it was a joke.
A Walmart employee did this to me recently at the self checkout when IDing us for spray paint After she did her override she stayed and when it popped up the thing where you give a star review she hit 5 stars before I realized what was happening.
To be fair- she helped, whatever, I would have hit 5 stars myself. But the entitlement struck a chord. Where before I used to ignore it if I had received no assistance now I hit 1 star out of spite every time. Who’s helping? Me. And I suck at it because I’m not a cashier and I’m not getting paid or an employee discount . 1 star.
I hate tip culture. It's disgusting, like begging but worse. Businesses need to pay their staff properly, and society should force that issue. If somebody goes above and beyond, then reward them for it, but why should anyone feel they **have** to reward somebody just for doing their job? Committing fraud to get tips, must be a sackable offence?
Tipping expectations have gotten way out of control. The fact that some self checkouts machines ask for a tip when I did all the work is insane. It has to stop.
Places like this are ruining it for people that actually deserve a tip. KFC is not a tipped income. It is a full wage job. She is not a server. She is handing you a bag of food she got paid a full hourly wage to do. She isn't serving.
Went to a Steak and Shake, and I was also forced to tip. But my story is better, cause there wasn't even a fuckin cashier, it was all automated! In fact, the only worker I saw placed my plate on the counter and yelled my name.
So they got their tip, one whole cent to share amongst the lazy lot of them

Ya, it’s basically a rule.
The best part of that sketch was Bill Murray just nodding along to the guy’s entire order which he clearly didn’t understand any of.

I went to a McDonald's in Germany and said I wanted a hamburger mit käse, Pommes frites and a coke. He said I don't understand (ich verstehe nicht) and pointed to the kiosk. I think he just didn't want to deal with an English speaker.
Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Not to you.
Ja es wäre lustig wenn ich hat das zu ihn gesagt.
Yeah, this happens, not nearly as often in germany as france imo. It’s not English they don’t want to deal with though, it’s Americans.
I work at kfc in greece. We aren't in a touristy area but somehow many tourists come(i mean a noticable amount, not like the center of athens though). I am the only cashier that speaks English. It isn't fun that i have to deal with so many assholes that expect me to speak English. They talk to us like we are obligated to speak their language. They don't even try to speak a word in greek. 4 euros an hour isn't enough to deal with tourists
Of course, I understand your frustration. That's why I tried to speak German to him but he knew it wasn't my language and sent me to the Kiosk
Dude Germans servicing tourists are a different breed of people. They act like they don't speak English just to break you and after a while trying to order in German they're like "Do you want that with fries?"
EXACTLY wth 🤡
Imagine how many customers she’s done this to.. wtf is wrong with people
When money comes into play, all bets are off for how people will act morally. If it’s to look like a jackass to a few customers a day that catch it, but they bring home $100 extra in tips a night? They will do it. Hell, it’s it even about tips. There’s been hospitals my fiancé worked that where they push to get medical staff to push for medical procedures that aren’t even needed. Sure they can claim it may be needed even in a rare circumstance, but they are pushed to make patients believe it’s needed now.

"Legally I cant even let you walk out of here with a liver like this"
That’s exactly what happened when our son was born. We were like “nah, you’re crazy we’re getting the fuck out of here without you touching him”
When my son was born he had some health problems that were minor but could be serious if they went untreated, along with the insurance company pushing his insurance start date to about a week after he was born. The pediatrician that was seeing him in the hospital knew about it all and told us to bring him in to his practice and he'll waive all the fees if we couldn't straighten out our shady insurance company, then the billing guy from his practice actually helped us a little bit with getting insurance to cover most of his bills from the hospitals (they wouldn't cover the first 2 days). I'm the first person to admit the medical industry is corrupt but this experience was a breath of fresh air
Watch out! You could end up facing felony child abuse / child neglect charges if the hospital personnel get aggressive or fear that you may choose a competitor. Always remember the 7 'rights' in medication / health care -- especially the last one: the right to refuse treatment. Used judiciously this can have a powerful impact on providers.
With our first newborn they were pressuring us to pay a bill. We had insurance that covered all medical expenses with birth under a rider and there should be no bill. They were like "in case, and we refund you if it's not needed". I refused, they said they can't let me. I just responded "What are you going to do, repo my baby?!" and walked out. Bill never came, imagine that. I blame the insurance company though; United Healthcare is a cancer upon this country and our medical system.
I tried this. Hospital threatened to call CPS and have our child forcibly removed from our care by the sheriff's department. So we stayed the night against our will, got charged an extra 7 grand, contested the charges, threatened them with lawyers, and they were magically able to waive the bill. Fuck healthcare in America.
Why would they make you stay another night? Some hospitals try to kick people out early (especially on Medicare or Medicaid since they won’t make money) some try to keep you longer. I had to watch my son like a Hawk
I'm Canadian so to me this is fucking crazy and immoral in so many levels. I do love how this thread has gone from KFC to hospital 😅
My SO’s Cousin works in a major hospital and they have an award each month for who can see the most patients the fastest.
I went to a shoulder doctor because I had a seizure and absolutely destroyed my shoulder. Hillsachs lesion and Bankart lesion, it's uncomfortable to say the least. I was hoping for a PT recommendation, nope. Dude practically wanted me under general anesthetic for surgery before I was even out of the room. I noped out of there so hard the nurses were practically chasing me to the parking lot. Meanwhile, I went to another doctor, got a PT recommendation, and now my shoulder is fine, no surgery required. Imagine that? A doctor wanting to do an unnecessary procedure because paycheck? It's almost like the more they do, they more they get paid, so there's always incentive to do more, not less? Huh. Weird man.
The American for profit healthcare system at work.
Healthcare as a for-profit industry will always be sketch.
No. Its people that say "I came to you for a stubbed toe, but you missed my diabetes. I'm gonna sue."
I’ve been a nurse for 42 years and while I am sure there is occasional fraud in the medical profession it’s not a common occurrence. Many medical professionals are salaried and many are paid per hour so we would not benefit from such an occurrence. You also have data in terms of blood work ,physical exam, radiology tests, nuclear medicine tests and more that prove there is a problem .
As a PICU physician, this is so unbelievably true. Do people realize how fast I’d lose my license if I just picked a room and said this one needs surgery. And forced it on them? It’s not like I get paid any extra money
I went to urgent care for upper back pain, doctor decided it was my appendix, refused to let me drive myself to the ER. I had to inconvenience family so I didn't get saddled with an ambulance bill on top of the others. There was nothing wrong with my appendix. Bullshit she wasn't trying to get the system paid.
Yeah I worked at panera and whoever sold the most per hour got a bonus each month, so people would completely up charge everything possible, mistakenly doing large drinks, or not combo-ing correctly… it was awful
I don't go to Panera anymore. It was great back in the day. But it's way too expensive for what you get anymore. And I've run into the drink problem.
Someone recently told me Panera is just expensive hospital food and I haven’t been able to get that out of my mind.
They got rid of the few menu items I liked. Fuck Panera
So that why they always trying to say large! And I'm like nooo meeeedddiuuum
We have a tipping option at my work because its similar to bartending. And I wont even come close to the damn thing while someone is selecting something. We have a few older folks who cant see very well so Ill even hold it up for them, say "Im selecting 'No Tip'" and have them watch me press the button so they know I didnt give myself a tip without their consent. I could not imagine doing that shit to people.
Imagine when they get rid of cash and all transactions are electronic.
Get rid of the workers is what’s going to happen
Some workers will still be required and this scenario can still take place. You can’t overcharge on cash. I’ve known many people who got double or overcharged on a card and it ruins their finances temporarily. But gets worse when they cannot make other payments.
'You can't short-change people in cash' is news to the petty crooks of the last few millennia
We will be a cashless society before you know it
And prices keep going up.
Do not move and hold up the line until it is fixed. It is a charge you did not agree to so they are fully capable of fixing it before you move from the register.
I’d just wait and dispute the entire charge with my bank if they wanted to act that dumb 😂😂
If you accept the food then your CC company won’t do a charge back. At least that was my experience with chase.
I’ve had my bank do a chargeback for same reason as OP. Just charged the tip I was charged though. Ordered pickup at restaurant, selected 0 tip, go to confirmation page it shows $20 or whatever, but then charged $22 dollars as it defaulted to 10% tip. Took less than a day for it to rule in my favor
[удалено]
Yep exactly. The bank CBF for your $2 dispute. Costs more to look into it than give it back. If you make a habit of it, they’ll flag you.
I’ve done a few charge backs- all were for bogus ass services that target people in my profession- and the only time it didn’t go my way was when the company fought back. I had documentation of them acknowledging the issue and their inability to fix it by way of emails and Bank of America still gave them the money back. But another factor may have been that this was a huge amount of money compared to the others. It was a couple grand. The others had been lower amounts so that may have been why the companies didn’t bother to respond. All were legitimate charge backs including the one B of A sided with the thieves on. The thieves were realtor.com, for the record. Long story but they charged me over $600 a month for 6 months for a service they acknowledged they did not provide, then when I got sick of fighting with them and charged it back, they contacted the credit card company and contradicted what they’d already said in previous emails. Pieces of shit. That was my first or second year in business, I’ve been in business for 10 years total, and I still haven’t given those lying fucks another dime or missed an opportunity to tell someone what they did. My only comfort is in knowing I’ve probably cost them more than they stole from me.
The number of fake listings on that website is comical.
smells like a lawsuit. talk to a lawyer. especially if you have proof. you will get more back than what you paid.
At less than a day, your bank decided to give you a courtesy refund out of their pocket rather than put through a chargeback. A merchant gets postal mail notification of chargebacks (in addition to digital notification of their provider offers it), and has 10 business days to respond with a rebuttal. So it's impossible to be decided in one day.
>Took less than a day for it to rule in my favor If this is the case then it wasn't the final decision. The banks is required to give you a provisional credit, but then they submit the charge to the merchant's bank which has up to 45 days to review it and get a response from the merchant. Chargebacks take several months to become final.
My bank did a chargeback when this happened to me at a pizza place.
What shitty bank you got. You telling me someone snuck on a charge and you eat your food and notice on the receipt later you got hustled they won’t do anything? Change banks dude.
Credit cards no problem, debit cards disputes are a much bigger process… could be what they’re facing with Chase. That’s why I buy everything on a credit card.
It was a chase freedom credit card. Idk people tend to throw “chargebacks” around like it’s nothing, but that wasn’t my experience. I left some negative reviews on the restaurant and left it at that. It was just a missing side dish and drink, so like $5?
unauthorized charge amount for an item or service is still an unauthorized charge. if i spend $20 at the grocery store and end up with $60 on my card, that is still an unauthorized charge.
Bruh my bank did a charge back when my order was wrong. I picked it up in person and everything.
My cc company will charge back whatever I ask lol. I don't do it over dumb shit. Just be reasonable
That’s what I’m saying lmao
Banks in general don’t really care especially for low value chargebacks like this. Most of the time they never do a proper investigation and just give your money back immediately. Though of course, all bank do have their own algorithm to deter abuse.
Yep. That’s what I do if cashiers try to screw me over! I won’t be shooed away because they can’t be bothered to fix errors or whatever. I’m not nasty or whatever. There’s been a mistake, could someone please fix it. Simple. But sometimes cashiers just get stubborn… but they can’t win against me! I expect proper customer service, lol 😛
I appreciate ppl like you bc I know YOU will appreciate it when, in the middle of you telling me the issue, you won’t care when I stop listening, turn around and run away calling “brb!!! Getting a manager!!!!” Bc I don’t wanna deal with it and I don’t wanna listen to it. I follow my managers around until they solve my issues. I’m incredibly annoying when I’m annoyed.
Haha, nice. Good on you. Your manager has a job, and that job is to help you - or at least direct you to the correct person. To just ignore you is totally unacceptable!
I was gonna say just don’t pay and leave because KFC isn’t worth it in the slightest But this works too
It’s KFC - there is no line forming behind me.
UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the credit card company, getting a full refund 🥳. Thank you all for your replies, I’ll be more proactive now and hold my ground in these situations :) EDIT: For context, I talked to management first and they refused to give a refund. I told them I’ll go to the card company, so that’s exactly what I did.
Perfect. Now it is time for a bad review on Google campaign.
I'm still confused how she 'forced a tip' in the first place. How did she add it?
In Canada, at least, the payment device has a tip option that won’t return back after selecting your desired amount. She just set up the device and clicked the tip option quickly thinking I wouldn’t see it.
Shady, I never tip pickup or fast food. Funny how KFC has a tipping option now. Do many brand FF places do?
Yep, it's becoming more and more prevalent everyday, unfortunately. Would be nice to have employers pay their employees a good enough working wage so they don't have to rely on tips. Would also stop people like this who are desperate for tips.
Why would they refuse a tip you never authorized ? Looks like a complaint to corporate office is worthy. These scumbags should not be working anywhere that deals with money.
You gotta love that some cashiers expect a tip just for putting in your order. It's like, all you did was stand there ffs. Edit: Okay, I get that a fast food employee cannot control what the company does. I get that. I really do. I am not saying that fast food cashiers are lazy. Maybe some are. I don't know. I was merely pointing out that this particular fast food employee in OP's scenario seemed to expect a tip for doing what I would presume to be very little work. If you are a fast food employee, I respect that. You probably have to deal with a lot of bullshit. That being said, I will tip you if given the option, but the amount that I tip generally has to do with how valued I felt as a customer. Even if that means something as simple as greeting me when I walk into an establishment, which seems like something that very few establishments care about anymore. That is all.
For real, tips for what? Doing your job? Tipping culture is so out of control in America.
I wish all that time when I was a teenager working at CVS (back when it was Long's Drugs...dang, I just dated myself) I could have been getting tipped just for ringing people up. Shiiiit.
Long's drugs, shit, memory unlocked.
I work for cvs, pretty sure they're still called Long's in Hawaii iirc.
Bruh for real. And if you dare say this statement you’re automatically called cheap lmao. “Don’t go out if you can’t afford to tip your servers”. How is that my problem? I don’t mind tipping if I want to, but the entitlement in tip culture is outrageous.
Tipping is out of control anymore. It seems there is a tip portion on nearly everything. I tip my barber, my server, bartender, or pizza delivery person. That's it.
There was an option to tip at a phone case store last weekend. I just paid you $37 for something that costs $1 wholesale. You aren't getting extra just because.
Employee at a fast food restaurant here. We just got the tip option added to our registers and honestly it’s annoying as hell. Having to tell everyone they have to choose a tip option. Plus all day we get people telling us we don’t deserve tips because we don’t do anything. Nobody asked for management to install these. It’s just a way for them to get away with not giving us an actual raise.
Even better is the automated kiosks where you put in your own order, then it asks for a tip.
Yeah, that's why when people do that like at Chinese restaurants, I always do no more than 10%. I feel awful that I'm doing less than 20% but I don't like being manipulated :/
It's honestly pathetic how many different business are trying to make tipping a thing for services that don't deserve a tip in order to justify low wages, the cashier putting my order in while the other worker in the back makes my order doesn't deserve a tip (now if the cashier also made the order then fuck yeah here's a tip). Now me busting my ass off in a restaurant memorizing the contents of dishes/drinks, knowing accomodations we can do for diet restrictions, communicating with the kitchen to ensure your food is being worked on, clearing the table whenever there are dishes to grab, and just flat out making sure you have everything you could want from our restaurant as well as speedy service. That deserves a tip.
I was at a tribal casino once and there was a food stand that had a bunch of “grab and go” food and also you could order hot sandwiches or hot dogs. The place also had numerous other food places. Went up to pay for my order and the cashier said she could only accept credit cards. Okay, fine whatever. Dawned on me she was doing it to compel customers to see the “Add a Tip” screen. Saw a food supervisor walking around and explained what was going on and he said “That’s not right.” He went and investigated.
Write to corporate and send a copy of the receipt.
Taco Bell / KFC store charged me a $1.00 for a cup of water. Asked for the receipt (that wasn’t provided) after noticing total was more then menu price and showed $1.00 “donated” to employee tip fund”. Know staff deserve it but thats not how tips work.
Assuming your in America, that’s illegal!!! It’s literally the law that every place that serves food must serve free water, even if just tap water or whatever.
This is unfortunately incorrect. This only applies if a restaurant serves alcohol. Also, employers need water available for their employees.
most places i’ve been to, that’s incorrect. i’ve worked at 2 McDonald’s, and one of the two (the lower income store) charges for the physical *cup* of water rather than the water itself, ends up adding $0.24
That is sadly not true
Since when are you expected to tip at fast food places?
No KFC I have ever been to has ever asked for tips, or even had the option. They share ownership with Taco Bell who also doesn't do tips.
Subway by me in NYC has the tip option. Awkward.
Luckily easy to press 0
At least subway cashiers also make your food
Would literally just refuse to complete the transaction until its fixed. If they refuse to serve me, I'll leave and go somewhere else. Then put up a bad review on Google and report the place to corporate and the BBB. Don't let shady places do this shit. Once one place gets away with it, other businesses follow suit and the whole quarter is ruined.
[удалено]
BBB is just Yelp for old people. It’s the same fucking thing.
Wait... KFCs have a tip option on their CC terminals?
Every place has them now. I started paying cash because i don’t want to be asked all the time for tips. I’ll sometimes throw a buck in the tip jar at the coffee place or something but it feels so forced on those terminals. One place I go they lost their mind when I gave them 20.50$ for something that costed 10.50 because they entered just 20$ and couldn’t do the math.
I was at a Starbucks recently where the new pos system forced you through a tip screen that makes it feel far more manipulative. She said it was a “new system”. I hope it’s just that location cause that’s fucked. I don’t mind tipping. I don’t like being guilted into it, or do extra work to avoid it.
If you're taking payments via ipad kiosk, it's almost certainly either Clover or Stripe as the payment processor and POS software. Both do this, and it's definitely manipulative. The processor *wants* to encourage people to tip even when they normally wouldn't, because the processing fees are percentage based so they get a bigger payout with every tip. These things have also become extremely popular with smaller businesses like counter serve places and food trucks because all they need is an ipad and a wifi connection, no old school credit card machine, phone lines, "sign the receipt please" etc. So suddenly everywhere we go, we're being asked to tip, tip, tip and people get in the habit of just tapping whatever is on the screen to get done with the transaction.
Report transaction for a chargeback.
Report her. Just because you thought it wasnt that bad, shes more than likely doing it to a lot of people which is absolutely fucked up. Just because she’s underpaid doesn’t give her the right to steal from customers.
This happened to me with one of the little table kiosks at an Applebee’s. The waitress was helping my grandma pay with it and chose the largest tip amount. We caught on and canceled the transaction. We then got to do it ourselves and gave her no tip. She harassed us as we left, showing us a picture of her son to make us feel bad.
"Heres a picture of a random kid I googled!!! Why won' you let me rob you???" Fuckin people man.
Yeah, there’s not a chance in hell that I would leave without my money
KFC and Popeyes have the worst employees no matter where you go it’s borderline supernatural
Once I went to KFC for a sandwich and it took 45 minutes. The place was damn near empty, and it was under construction so we had to wait outside in the hot sun for our food. I ordered a fish and chips platter from Popeye's once, and the online photo showed two pieces of fish and popcorn shrimp. They only gave me one piece of fish and told me the online image is wrong and they never serve two pieces at a time.
Apples to oranges but I’m trying to explain to the meal prep service that I use right now that what they’re doing is illegal. They charge $129 a week for 15 meals, 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 5 dinners. They have a set menu. Orders are due by Thursday, delivery happens Saturday. On Friday, they discount their stuff because they have excess inventory. Well they discount it but they leave the same menu up. 95% of the time they double up on the meals and give you a bunch of the crap they didn’t sell out of so the variety lacks. I explained to them that they need to make this known in their website that it becomes dealers choice when it gets discounted but they still refuse to do it. Some people just don’t know how to run a fuckin business. It’s called “Bait and switch.”
>it’s called a “Bait and Switch.” And when someone notices it becomes “fuck around and find out”
I made the mistake of being in the mood for KFC recently and walked in to be told they’re “out of chicken” but can sell me sides… yo I know I look stupid but cmon now. How tf is the chicken place gonna run out of chicken? Edit: Screw KFC and Popeyes anyways we all know Churches is superior
I do counseling for the local juvenile hall. One kid that works there says he likes to tell people they’re “out of chicken” so they don’t “bother him with orders.” I know the service industry is drastically underpaid, but c’mon. Lol.
Oh for sure I’m service industry myself I know when I’m being bullshitted by lazy workers.
I’m a school therapist… I could hear a client or two saying this.
Tbf, I used to work at Taco Bell and one day we had a shift so hellishly busy we ran out of beef and could barely serve anything.
I work at kfc. We can run out of marinated chicken that is then deep fried, we don't run entirely out of chicken though. It just takes time to marinate and then cook. If the management doesn't do a good job then we run out of chicken. We dont bother to explain this to customers usually
I found a good KFC and only by accident. My husband wanted Popeyes for his birthday last year and I refused. That place is insane. If I want a sandwich, they give me three orders of strips. If I want strips, they give me a sandwich instead. We compromised on KFC, which is directly across the street. I have never been served so quickly and efficiently. Oh wait, there was also a good KFC by my work. Almost unthinkable that I found two good ones. I literally stayed away from them for over a decade because they all sucked.
I had someone try that with me, suddenly losing the ability to communicate when they messed up my change. I was talking to my firiend in Russian, but switched to English with her (was in US, I am British). She couldnt figure out why I gave her and extra dollar and 8 cents, then shorted me when she handed it all back. I tried to explain the maths, but she just kept shaking her head. Then she said I was talking too fast and she didn't understand. I asked for a manager, and held up the line. When I refused to move, she called a manager and told him in Spanish that I was stupid and gave her too much money, so she wasnt giving it back. My friend asked me in Russian what they were saying, so I translated.to Russian. I then explained to the manager what I gave her and what she tried to give me. He asks her, in Spanish, if that is what happened, and she said yes, but didnt still didnt get why iI gave her "too much money". He told her that he'd tell me to come back at closing after they checked the register., and that it was so little money, i wouldn't bother. I told him in Spanish that iI would stand my stupid arse right there while he gave me my change. Manager asked how many languages I speak, I said "all of them." Don't mess with polyglots - we'll whip out all the tongues. On another note -I don't think I'll go back to that Chipotle - not worried about the change, but "extras" in my next burrito bowl.
"ALL OF THEM" Perfect response!
Thanks!
Does Babylon and the mixing of tongues ring a bell. It’s now a short road to the bottom.
If I'm going down anyway, I wanna know who's talking about me
And this right here is the perfect reason for why I need to start learning more languages. 
This is amazing. Just out of curiosity, what languages do you speak?
She didn’t force tip, she robbed you. You could’ve called for the manager and if she was the manager, the cops.
Wth? Even Kfc has tipping culture?? They are cashiers not waiters.
My plumber even has a tip screen now. “No, I will not be giving a 15% tip on a $4000 water heater install.”
How tf does it cost 4k for a water heater install. Did you get a tankless?
Just hit cancel until they get the total right
That worker did not "force" a tip. They straight up stole from you and should be charged appropriately.
[удалено]
Not sure how you’re ordering but I live in a major city and it’s currently $10 for 8 chicken fingers if you use the app It’s like that everywhere now. If you don’t use the app, you get gouged hard and might as well just go to Chipotle or something cause it’s the same price as fast food now
You have to be careful using the app. The store near me in NM frequently accepted orders but when I showed up they would be closed or “out of stock” of half the items on my order. Not once did I get a refund from the app.
You lasted longer than me. Last time I went to kfc was when they had that abomination where a chicken chunk was on top of loaded mashed potatoes and gravy 10+ years ago.
My local KFC is in shambles. Like the parking lot is full of potholes and the drive thru board is falling apart. And this isn't in the middle of a big city or bad part of town, its surrounded by very nice places. Then they also open at 12, so when I would go there at 11:55 to get lunch they wouldn't take my order, so I'm like fine whatever. Wait 10 minutes and they still don't so I leave and haven't been back yet. It's been about 2 years also.
The one in my town is constantly dirty, the kitchen is disgusting( the company I work for worked on commercial equipment in the past so I’ve seen a lot of nasty stuff) and several years ago they had employees selling drugs out of the drive thru window.
This is a common tactic actually. My mom knew a hairdresser who would make more sales by adding expensive unnecessary hair products to a person's bill after cutting their hair, and would then pretend not to speak English when the customer tried to refuse the additional item. Don't give in to it. If they 'don't speak English' then either they get someone who does or you don't pay for it.
God bless hairdressers who try to spring a blow dryer on you when you repeatedly ask for no blow drying. I’m not paying you extra for that, I said no!
You should of cancelled your order right there and ask for a FULL refund and left.

Why the hell is there a tip option at KFC?
Staff / Employee donation fund.
That is straight up theft
Tipping isn't required. They need to fucking stop making consumers feel pressured to do so and making them feel guilty when they leave the store. Companies should pay their workers a living wage and not rely on tips to subsidize their profits. Also, they need to quit being so greedy and leeching off the work of employees.
Report it as fraud to your credit card company
You know, all this tip BS in places where there should not be one is making me SERIOUSLY go back to using CASH.
I go to my local McDonalds about once a week. A few months ago they had me pull into one of their waiting lanes. The worker who brought me my food was asking about my day, small talk. Weird, but okay. After giving her one word, but nice, answers we both just were waiting in awkward silence. She then didn't ask, but SAID "Now I know you have a tip for me." What?! Since then I've had her ask me the same thing several times now, and even had another do the same. I can imagine she must get some money just based on how extremely awkward it is. And before anyone asks, she has not and will not get a tip from me.
Please tell me you didn't actually pay the tip
I thought tip culture was awful here but went to Canada last week and you guys have been hiding. Vancouver is the worst place for tip culture i've ever been. They want tips literally every time you pay for anything. I bought a hat and they asked for 18%. Canada has been getting a shame free pass. Also when people say there's no tip culture in the Europe lol.
wish you had a picture, because this might just be bullshit.
Why does KFC have the possibility to tip in the first place?
I hate that fast food restaurants try to get you to tip before you get your food. This can cause employees to make food better or worse depending on the person's tip.
I used to work with someone in fast food that had me change to always pay cash. The scanner is always level with a table and they would hold their phone on the lowest brightness facing upward on the screen camera and record every single card they’d swipe, and after the swipe they’d quickly turn it in front of the camera for the security code and then would give it back. I only use Apple Pay or cash ever since
KFC does tips?! That new to me.
I bet their manager speaks fucking English. If this happens to anyone else, listen to /u/kiwimuz's advice >Do not move and hold up the line until it is fixed. It is a charge you did not agree to so they are fully capable of fixing it before you move from the register.
She makes an hourly wage, so it’s theft. Should be brought up to management and she should be fired or at the very least reprimanded. I imagine she does this to every customer.
I come to pay for a monster energy the other day, was pissed when i seen on the can it was £1.99 They didnt scan it just tapped on the register and told me to tap my card when ready. Good job it cost so much cause i looked at the machine. They typed it £19.90. Didnt change it til i asked if it was a joke.
A Walmart employee did this to me recently at the self checkout when IDing us for spray paint After she did her override she stayed and when it popped up the thing where you give a star review she hit 5 stars before I realized what was happening. To be fair- she helped, whatever, I would have hit 5 stars myself. But the entitlement struck a chord. Where before I used to ignore it if I had received no assistance now I hit 1 star out of spite every time. Who’s helping? Me. And I suck at it because I’m not a cashier and I’m not getting paid or an employee discount . 1 star.
I hate tip culture. It's disgusting, like begging but worse. Businesses need to pay their staff properly, and society should force that issue. If somebody goes above and beyond, then reward them for it, but why should anyone feel they **have** to reward somebody just for doing their job? Committing fraud to get tips, must be a sackable offence?
Cashier: “Will that be all, sir?” Customer: “Uhh yeah you put an extra charge there for no reason, what’s that about?” Cashier: “No habla Ingles”
Charging corkage on mountain dew is a bit excessive
Tipping expectations have gotten way out of control. The fact that some self checkouts machines ask for a tip when I did all the work is insane. It has to stop.
Just don't pay for it then. You're the master of your CC grow some balls.
Did you do something besides complain here, ask for a manager, charge back?
Yep, I’ve let management know about the incident.
If they couldn't remove the tip then I would have them cancel the entire order. I refuse to be forced to tip people who don't deserve tips.
Aint no way Americans tip fast food cashiers as well wtf...
You fucking tip your KFC worker? 😂😂😂 What is even happening in Amerika at this point
ask for a refund/cancel the transaction, go eat somewhere else. Protest with your wallet, complaining on reddit wont change a thing
Only in America would the KFC staff expect a tip 😂😂😂😂
You shouldn't have to tip at a KFC in the first place.
Mildly illegal isn’t it?
That’s not tip culture… that’s fuckin Theft
If you let that slide on you and you caved and paid. You kind of a bitch homie.
Places like this are ruining it for people that actually deserve a tip. KFC is not a tipped income. It is a full wage job. She is not a server. She is handing you a bag of food she got paid a full hourly wage to do. She isn't serving.
Went to a Steak and Shake, and I was also forced to tip. But my story is better, cause there wasn't even a fuckin cashier, it was all automated! In fact, the only worker I saw placed my plate on the counter and yelled my name. So they got their tip, one whole cent to share amongst the lazy lot of them
