If you go to Applebees on Transit near Losson, make sure your waiter doesn’t pull some hanky panky with your CC receipt and then forge your signature in the real Merchant Copy for the sake of deciding how much he THINKS he deserves for a tip, despite the fact that he gives shitty service
Id say his name but theres a few dudes by the same name there apparently and I’d rather not badmouth the innocent ones.
BTW, management also seams to think this wasnt an issue, which is fucking disgusting.
Aaron?
tom?
Bill?
Giuseppe?
LOL, I highly doubt there are 3 or them in the lancaster / depew / cheektowaga area, let alone 3 that work at the same Applebees
08GT500?
I LOL’d
call corporate. that is the only way to handle chain restaurants like this. http://www.applebees.com/GuestContact.aspx places like applebees, fridays, etc are designed to not need much marketing due to positive word of mouth, they take matters like this very seriously.
i would also mention that local management didnt seem to find this to be an issue, corporate will love to hear that credit card fraud is a practice encouraged by one of their managers
:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup: lol
Something similar happened to my ex in Hawaii. But she was the waitress and didn’t do anything wrong. A lady that she had served a few days prior called in freaking out saying that she “stole” 5 dollars by adding it into her tip. Luckily she was not fired for it, but people certainly start to think differently regardless of what’s been proven.
I always put a line through the tip and leave cash on the table. :shrug:
May want to hit up the BBB if Corporate does nothing. In my experience they do NOT fuck around and you’ll usually get what you want.
goddamnit skunk
did you not tip at all?

i always do this as well
this is what i do when i have cash for tip. and if i fill out the “tip” line, i make it so its very very difficult to add numbers to.
This. These chains usually have high restrictions put on them by their corporate owners. Definitely call the corporation and I am sure they will not be happy to find out that one of their stores is supporting fraud.
On a side note, I really need to start getting copies of receipts more often as this seems to be more and more common to at least hold on till the charge clears on my account.
All the matters is what is filled out on the last line. The “tip” line doesn’t matter. You could put a $1,000,000 tip there, but if the last line only varies by a few dollars from the total that is the only amount they can charge your card.
Who cares?
Call CC company and they will fix it
LOL
cause im sure when he filled out his own merchant copy w/ a bigger tip im sure that he forgot to refigure the total amount
people that dont like being ripped off ?
hows the saying go? “show me someone whose on their first offense and ill show you someone that didn’t get caught the first 100 times”
I recently worked with a kid who used to work at a pizza shop and he told me he used to do this on a fairly regular basis (every 2-3 days)
Since then I will only leave cash tips and under “tip” I write CASH in big letters 
A delivery driver I worked with got caught doing this. They fired him on the spot, despite the fact that he claimed innocence. (doubtful). I always tip cash.
