Our reading
A restaurant added a $7.40 tip to a customer’s bill without her consent, then had the nerve to act surprised when she noticed. It’s like paying for a service and then getting a free pass on the tollbooth because you forgot to stop.
The restaurant probably thought the tip was a gift, not a crime, but the customer saw it as a theft. Now the customer is the one doing the work—disputing, calling, and explaining why she didn’t want to tip in the first place.
It’s not just about the money. It’s about the principle of being forced to pay for something you didn’t get. The real tip here is that the restaurant didn’t realize they were the ones who needed to be tipped—on customer service.
