I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

This is a public service announcement.

One I think I’ve done before, but after 550+ posts, it’s hard to remember.

When you pay your check with a gift card that covers a portion of the check.  

YOU MUST TIP ON THE WHOLE CHECK, NOT THE REMNANTS OF THE CHECK AFTER THE GIFT CARD!!!

So, if you are paying attention.

The check is $248.  You have a $100 gift card.  That leaves a balance of $148.  The correct gratuity is:  ________________???

You are right.  

$50.  

It is NOT.  

$30.  

This practice can also be followed when paying part of a check with cash.

And fun fact:

The fact that you had a martini, half a bottle of wine and a Scotch neat does not excuse your math abilities.
