Although something about this story has me really skeptical. Maybe it's because its from reddit. But there's no itemized receipt. Could there have been a gratuity included in the $138 bill? It's possible. If that's the case then I don't think you really need to tip on top of it. Did the server do a bad job? Did the person leave a cash tip in lieu of a tip on the credit slip, I do that so that the server doesn't have to claim the tip and pay taxes on it.

The tip would be printed on the slip if it were an auto grat. And the message would simply say "cash" or "table" or nothing if cash were left.
I once had a gal break down into tears while telling me she is a single mother and hadn't planned on spending $40 for her and her kids to eat after I told her that the coupon she was trying to use did not work with the daily special she had ordered. I shit you not, the woman straight up starts bawling at the table and tells me to just go away.
It is very easy for me to take this picture at face value. People these days have no shame.
