A Shock
The man was flabbergasted by the events that had occurred. He was surprised that he had found himself in this situation. He truly believed he would just walk into the restaurant, change his tip significantly and that would be the end of it. He even pretended that he didn’t know what she was talking about. He offered the line, “I only came back because I forgot my keys. You must be looking for someone else”. The waitress was cunning however, insisting again different variations of “You wanted to change your tip from $100 to $20. The more he pretended to be unaware of what was happening, she repeated herself.
Conceding
After some back and forth, where the waitress refused to back down from her stance that she needed the man to fill out a new form and the man pretending to not know what was happening; the man eventually conceded. Finally, he said, “Ok, whatever, uh, sorry for the miscommunication. If you need me to fill out a new receipt I can.” To rub salt in the wounds further, the waitress even keeled offering a final time, “you only need to fill out a new receipt if you want to change the tip”.
