This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is the way. By going but not tipping you're just fucking over the server, not the business. To hurt the business' bottom line you have to not go. Or dine and dash, but that then fucks the server harder while also affecting the business.

What about dine and dash, while leaving a cash tip?

9/10 chance that goes to cover part of your bill and the waiter gets fucked, but if you could guarantee they pocket it that'd work.

Hmm, maybe slip it to them when asking for the bill?

That’ll get them fired for looking like they conspired with you

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Sure, that might work, or give it to them up front (protip btw, you want GREAT service? Frontload that tip, your server will break the law for you if you do that lol).

It's not exactly legal, but a lot of places will charge the server for a done and dash.

Hmm, what about fake checks? Surely there's an angle here where the server isn't punished, I don't go to jail, and the restaurant takes a hit.
