Waitress Gets $2K Tip but Restaurant Refuses to Give Her a Cent
A Texas waitress says she was thrilled to receive a $2,000 tip on a bill — only to find out from the restaurant that she won’t take home a single cent.
Emily Bauer, 21, had only been a server for about two weeks when she was scheduled for a busy Sunday shift at Red Hook Seafood and Bar in San Antonio, news station KVUE reported. . .
Bauer said she didn’t notice at first that [a customer] had given her a $2,000 tip and wrote a note that said, “Merry Christmas! Keep working hard!” . . .
“I was sitting at a table and the other servers were congratulating me and [my manager] came over and was like, ‘Rule No. 1. Never accept a tip like that because you’re never going to get it,’” Bauer said.
Bauer said another server suggested that the restaurant give her four separate tips of $500 but they refused. (Read more from “Waitress Gets $2K Tip but Restaurant Refuses to Give Her a Cent” HERE)
