WWYD: I had an issue with a reimbursement request being bounced because my receipt didn’t line up with the amount charged on my business credit card. Turns out the server gave them selves an extra $10 tip (in addition to the 22% I had given). I’m inclined to let it go because it’s ten bucks and if the guy needed the money then whatever. But my company wants to make a stink about it. What do you think?

Also begs the question of how many others the server is doing this to. That $10 adds up…

Ask the company to refund the receipt amount and forget about it

Partner, lay down the law. That's your job.

Kid who tried to book an extra 10 was playing with fire. You let the firm and restaurant figure it out and you extricate yourself from the situation. Kid can still save themself if they make it look like an accident, but thats on them to do, not you.

How is this a question? You agreed to an amount. Someone stole from you. That server knew he was taking a risk and probably already knows what excuse he’s going to use. Contest the charge and let him deal with it. Don’t let a lowly server make you his b.

Without rules, we have chaos.

Somehow I doubt SD 1 would have said “the lowly CEO” if the CEO had done something unethical. This is definitely a classist term, and you can easily confirm that with a Google search.

You’d be doing the kid a favor by reporting it. Better to learn that you can’t steal other peoples money sooner rather than later.

Just get paid for the receipt. Could have easily fat fingered a 20 instead of 10. Mistakes happen. If it was 100, I’d call. $10? Forget it.

Yeah that’s what I thought but it’s become a huge fucking thing.

Do whatever is easiest to reconcile the paper. It might be sending a corrected receipt with an extra $10 on tip line. And don’t take it personally. It’s probably not about the $10.

Storytime:

A perfectionist accountant somewhere spent hours beating her head against the wall trying to reconcile that $10. It delayed her month end close when her boss, the CFO wanted to get home for Halloween. They stayed late and together finally found the odd discrepancy at around 7 pm, but didn’t know how to fix it. Boss’ kids missed trick or treating with dad as promised, wife was pissed. Frustrated Accountant called in sick the next day. The executive meeting on Tuesday was tense and the CFO was catching shade from CEO for not having the numbers closed, and no accountant was around to pull an estimate for the meeting.

Ahh life in the exec suite is so glamorous.

God I hate American payment culture so much.
22% and the server has the gall to steal from people. Why can’t they just get those devices to your table so you can pay with your card? I’m supposed to trust a random with my credit card?
