You really are a cheap ass if you changed the tip by a dollar. What did you plan on doing with that dollar?

1. You're a douche for being so cheap. 2. You fail at english, your sentence says she was unaware that she was watching. 3. This is neither amusing nor particularly embarassing. At least it wasn't, until you put this up to be mocked by random people on the internet. 4. To be fair, she was a little out of line for saying anything about it.

Who cares if someone is cheap or not? Aren't we all with this economy? It's rare for people to tip with takeout so they're lucky to have gotten anything at all. I was a waitress for 3 years and when I go out to eat I don't give huge tips. If you want more than a buck or two you better work for it. You don't deserve a huge tip for walking over a few plates and picking them up afterwards.

Today, a customer came in to pick up his take-out order. After writing down the tip on the receipt, he looked up at me. He then took $1 off of the tip. FML.

just ONE dollar? i can see changing it if you wrote it for like 40 dollars off but just ONE? cheap

I agree with #14 and #22. She wasn't a waitress, she didn't give any service, so what's there to tip? All she was doing was her job. I don't know many cashiers getting tipped to do their job.

Cross out again, no tip. Job's done.

I agree with #3 to some extent. And yes, I've worked in restaurants and done the waiting on tables thing. I NEVER expected a tip unless i thought I did a fantastic job and even then I didn't really expect it because that's not something that should be common practice, in my opinion. I have lots and lots of views on the whole tipping process and most of them are somewhere along the lines of "don't tip." I typically do, because I know that those people are making less than minimum wage, but unless it's exceptional, I rarely tip more than 13% and, if you are rude in any way, you don't get anything and I have a talk with the manager. On the other hand, if you go out of your way, I'll tip as much as 25% and in the case of one incredible waitress at an OutBack, I tipped her more than I actually spent on my meal. #33, actually, his sentence says, "unaware that she was watching," which has the usual implied "I" at the beginning of the sentence which is correct. :-) The rest of the sentence, not so much, but that particular segment is. OP, you shouldn't be concerned about that. If anything, she should. She didn't do anything deserving of a tip except for being "cute" and she certainly should not have watched you write the tip much less commented on it. As a few others have said, I sincerely hope you crossed off the tip entirely and then possibly spoke to her manager. Granted, some of these managers today don't seem to care about employee attitudes, but in the end, it was your money! If you felt the need to take of two cents, you had every right to do that, too, and she still should not have commented on it! Shame on her, not you!

Agree with #31 and #37. She was a bitch, and you didn't have to give her anything in the first place. I would've crossed it out altogether after she said that. And as for tipping waitresses, I think #39 has it right on the money.

they do make minimum wage, a tip should be mandatory.....
