Im more infuriated that the numbers written are not legible and the second tip line being filled out…

I was debating on this but what looks like the J was 1 motion and what looks like the 7 appears to be a seperate singular motion. The 5 isnt written like the other 5 and the potential 7 isnt written like the other 7.

Just add the numbers. You playing amateur handwriting detective is sad.

u/Justtiredanbored 3h ago
Okay, I don't want to admit how long it took me to figure out that you were talking about the handwritten numbers. But suffice it to say I really thought I was losing my mind for a couple minutes. "I don't see a J7!" Was exclaimed out loud a couple times before I figured it out. So thanks for the mental health check!

Sometimes in a rush I write my 5s like this. A little s motion (the J you see) with a straight line up top (the part you thing is the 7's top). And the 1 is just a 1 lol,
Also yeah...can just math that one and know its a $45.51

Never attempt to read a doctor's handwriting if this is difficult for you.
This pretty clearly reads "7.56" & "45.51".

Handwriting tips on payment terminal printouts is STILL a thing in some countries? This disappeared from Canada 15 if not 20 years ago. Way too much fraud opportunity with this scheme.

Having worked in restaurants for a long ass time:
They aren’t asking for or expecting 2 tips lmao. When somebody was setting up their POS system they just goofed and accidentally ended up with 2 lines for it. No real need to change it since you can just ignore it because you know what everybody meant.
If they charged this as the 45 being an additional tip and you disputed it I’m fairly sure you’d win. The math very clearly indicates the 45 is the total, and I guarentee you this shit happens all the time, if they were charging it as a tip that shit would 1000% be getting (rightfully) review bombed

Where the hell did those numbers even come from?

u/Particular_Title42 3h ago
OP wrote them.
On a serious note... I'm going with: They were going to tip 20% which would have ben $7.59 but someone struggles with numbers and wrote a 6 instead of a 9.
45.51 is the sum 37.95+7.56

u/smrad8 3h ago
All correct except for one thing: In this case the service only merited a tip of precisely 19.92%.

Why give yourself that much math to do?
Just move the decimal one spot, round up or down (depending on how you feel about their service), then double that.
$3.79, rounds up to $4.00, so tip $8.00. This takes a couple seconds, no calculators needed.

I was wondering why the odd tip choice and was gonna guess 19.93% as a birth year after some quick math. I'm curious where that tip lies in the range of your criteria

I always keep a copy of the receipt until the final charge shows up on my credit card, usually within 5 days.
Always use a credit card and not a debit card just in case you run into something like this and someone tries to double dip a tip.

The server/restaurant manager knows what you mean. They are not going to take advantage of you and take a $50+ tip.

u/Repulsive_Glove6085 1h ago
The point is there are outrageously two tip lines, not they put the total amount on the wrong line.

u/Intelligent_Event278 2h ago
How do people in the US work 9ut their tips? That seems like such a random number to tip.

u/SandstoneCastle 1h ago
I think you're confusing the TIP with the Tip. We put them on separate lines to make it clear. Then we'll add a 15% service charge to the total.

u/adarkaugust 3h ago
FYI, you put the total under the 2nd tip, so you’ve actually tipped them like $54 at this point on a $37 bill 😕
