Waitress launches hunt on man who didn't tip her

Yay for privacy laws!

He is able to sue the chain, sue her and anyone else who uses confidential information acquired from his credit receipt.

Data Protection Laws. This is a lovely power play for it.

My auntie was in America and got aweful service so didn't tip. The waitress got the manager to have a go at her saying how my auntie obviously didn't understand the american culture and that he doesn't pay the waitresses the minimum wage as their tips should make up for their wages. Then my auntie retalliated saying how tipping was mean to be a bonus for good service, which she didn't get, then walked off.

What a disgraceful thing for a customer to do.

her service must have been awful for him to that though

Doesn't justify the comment though, does it?

If it was bad service, then I can understand why you wouldn't tip, but why you'd write that, I'll never know.

maybe she was rude to him? seeing as we don't have his side of the story....

Tiiping, yuck. Love the common sense of this woman, open herself up to judicial and civil action, and totally ignore the fact her boss should be paying her enough she doesn't need tips.

Seriously America, pay your goddamn staff a decent pay you wage slavers.


Hope tipping never cathes on in the UK.

This isn't illegal, for anyone asking.

Minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, but most restaurants pay their waiting staff $2-$3 an hour.

aye but she's probably getting something $2-3 per hour. Their pay is a fair bit under minimum wage, most of their income comes from tipping, but in America giving generous tips is pretty standard. Not sure how that works legally, guess restaurant staff are somehow exempt from minimum wage laws..

I think it's trying to crawl its way to the UK. I saw lots of restaurants in London these days asking for it, putting tipping boxes near the cashier. Even my favorite YO! Sushi ask for a bloody tip once I swap my debit card on the machine. Literally, the machine asked would I want to tip them. The guy on the cashier said there's no need to really because he won't be getting it. The restaurant will.
