Restaurant accused of \u201cscamming\u201d for higher tips by adding more food to order TikTok: @smoneyz \/ FlickrA woman has accused a restaurant of attempting to scam her by adding \u2018complimentary\u2019 dishes to their order, just so the tip would be bigger. The video, uploaded by TikToker @smoneyyz, has sparked a wider conversation on the platform. She recalls a story where she and a group of friends went out for some drinks at a \u201cfine dining\u201d establishment. \u201cWe all got one drink each\u2026 We were all in agreement that we didn\u2019t want a huge, sit-down, entree-style dinner. We\u2019re like, \u2018Let\u2019s pick a couple plates and share them, it\u2019s kind of late.\u2019\u201d Things got strange however, when several random plates were being laid at the table that the party hadn\u2019t requested. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to find our waiter. He\u2019s nowhere to be found. It\u2019s getting to the point where they\u2019re bringing out platters of wagyu steak, scallops, things with truffles on them that we literally did not order.\u201d When they finally got the waiter\u2019s attention, he said that the extra plates were part of \u201can experience\u201d that he wanted to give the group. He said that he\u2019d need to seek out his manager if the diners didn\u2019t want the untouched plates of food added to their bill. It turned out that what should have been a $300 meal, was $887. People infuriated over restaurant tipping \u2018scam\u2019 The TikToker told viewers that she suspected the waiter was adding additional plates to their table in order to increase the tipping rate at the end of the meal. It turned out that other diners had experienced similar situations too. \u201cThe same thing has happened to me twice at Mila. They sent \u2018complementary dishes\u2019 because of the table delay and tried to sneak it on our bill at the end.\u201d \u201cAs soon as I saw the hashtag I KNEW EXACTLY which restaurant in Miami! I never step foot in there and you gave me more of a reason!\u201d another wrote. \u201cThis happens pretty often! Especially in Miami when they have no incentive to work for the tip,\u201d the creator wrote back, suggesting that it wasn\u2019t just this particular restaurant running the scam. Another customer went viral, when they claimed a pizza restaurant burnt their order after they didn\u2019t leave a tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
