Customers livid after catching restaurant lying about suggested tip percentage TikTok\/kentsports\/PixabayDiners were left infuriated by when the math on a restaurant receipt\u2019s suggested tip amount didn\u2019t add up. Tipping has become a highly-debated topic in 2024 with everyone from UberEats drivers to waitresses having their own opinion on tipping and how much is acceptable. When one dines out at a restaurant, it\u2019s normally expected that one tips their server, but users were shocked to see a receipt that had inflated numbers on it. In a TikTok uploaded by \u2018kentsports,\u2019 the user showcased an image of a receipt for $20.05 with the suggested tip on the bottom listing 15% as $5.02 instead of $3. In fact, the 18% and 20% tips didn\u2019t add up either. \u201cThis is tough, because I love the suggested tip. When you\u2019re signing a check, that is the greatest gift anyone can give you. But it appears restaurants are now lying about what percentage to put under the tip,\u201d Kent explained. \u201cGenuis move by them.\u201d After doing the math, the TikToker noted how he\u2019d fall for this if it happened to him, but revealed that because he tends to tip more anyway, he wasn\u2019t the most concerned. The same couldn\u2019t be said for users in the comments who explained they always do calculations before leaving their money. \u201cTipping is out of control,\u201d said one. \u201cDoing roughly 20% real quick in your head is super easy,\u201d another suggested. Others replied that they felt there was more to the math not adding up, writing that the amount could be after taxes or calculated before gift cards or promotions were applied. In any case, it appears that this could be yet another thing to watch out for when at restaurants to make sure you get the most bang for your buck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
