A Moment To Relish
After flagging the man and his date down, the waitress ran across the street. In her rush, she almost stumbled into oncoming traffic. The moment was too great to miss and with a mix of excitement and fear that she would miss them; she ran. Despite the fact his date was already in the car, she rolled the window down to speak with the waitress, who looked fairly crazy swinging her arms in the air trying to catch their attention.
A Moment To Relish
Comeuppance
The waitress was successful in reaching the car in time. Speaking loudly enough for both the man and his date to hear, she told them, “Sir, we amended your tip from $100 down to $20 as you requested, but you’ll actually need to fill out a different receipt reflecting your new total for our records. Your old receipt still has your original tip of $100 written on it, but since you just came in and asked us to charge you $20 instead, we can’t have a discrepancy in our records. I hope you understand. This is just a bookkeeping regulation that goes way above me. It has nothing to do with your retroactively downgrading your tip from $20 to $100, we’re just glad you enjoyed your evening.”
