Good grief. I have to agree with the tweet and the closing sentence. Jerks.

This Couple's Tipping "Trick" Will Infuriate You


The holidays are here, which is typically a season of giving, kindness and generosity, but one couple allegedly shared their bizarre method of tipping, and it's shockingly cruel.

The presumed husband wrote in a Facebook post how he and his wife manipulated their waitress into giving them better service by leaving five dollar bills on the table and taking one off if she made a mistake. We couldn't find the original post, perhaps because it's been deleted, but there is a screen shot that's making the rounds on Twitter. (The tweet that accompanied it:)

If you want the wait staff to spit in your food, you could always just ask.



They explain at length how to do it: "You put 5 singles out on the table at the beginning of dinner for the waiter/waitress to see. (Don't say anything to them) if they mess up, you take a dollar away, and so on." If this is all true, it's way harsh.

The writer then proceeds to say that the "waitress kept looking at it as if she was confused," probably because this is unlike anything they've ever seen before. They say their waitress "played her cards right," so she got the whole tip. They claim you'll "get the best service of your life," but you'll probably also get a reputation as the rudest customer ever.

We have a better idea when it comes to eating out: Tell your waiter you appreciate the hard work they do, especially over the holidays, and pay it forward.

Idiots.
If they only knew what can happen behind the scenes when they piss the servers off.

Idiots is right. I think I would have thrown the tip however much it was on the floor, and they would have to lower themselves to pick it up.

I agree with Chaos unless their big night out was McDonalds for a cheeseburger and small fires.

An on-the-ball waitress would have brought them their meal, taken two bills off the pile, handed them back to the guy and then walked away without saying anything. Let 'em wonder.

Ex BIL was a waiter at the Beaver Club in Montreal. He had a particularly obnoxious fat slob of a customer - the kind who has to wear oversize suits with huge pockets. To make a long story short, his meal ended up in his suit jacket pocket.
