Money Woman leaves ‘single mom sorry’ tip on $138 bill - Page 2

R8RFAN · 11-02-2012, 07:29 AM

A photo of a receipt allegedly left by a single mother at a restaurant has gone viral after it was posted on Reddit.

The bill, which shows a charge of $138.35, has a note that reads “single mom sorry” on the tip line – implying whoever signed the bill did not have enough money to tip the waiter or waitress.

The caption with the photo on Reddit reads: “I’m sure $140 could have gotten you and your kids a week worth of groceries, but instead you spend it one one meal?! For shame!”

That's probably true. I've witnessed it done at a few local - upscale - restaurants around town. I see no problem with it in certain circumstances.

Agree with this 100%. There's no way you can justify this. And I don't give a damn if it's wrong to put it out there on the internet, this woman should be ****ing ashamed of herself.

Basically. If I know I only have a certain amount of money to spend, I do my best to order something cheap enough so that I will still have money leftover to leave a suitable tip.

The waiter should also be ashamed of himself/herself for crying about missing a $15 tip when unemployment is as high as its been.

Oh my God, someone didn't tip you!!!! Oh the humanity!!!!

, what a fcking baby.

For all I know this lady had six kids with her and the service was terrible. She took her one kid out for his birthday and wanted to have a great time but the service was so terrible it ruined the whole experience. She could have wrote no tip, your service was terrible but instead wanted it to seem nicer so she wrote the whole single Mom thing.

Tips are for doing a good job not just doing the bare minimum in my opinion and I was a server in high school and college for 7 years. I have never understood these servers that exepct a customer to just give them a tip if they do just enough to get by.

This just in - someone does something stupid.

People on internet, outraged, explain how they would rectify the situation.

If you can't afford a tip, you can't afford to eat out.

That's part of the package, unless you are treated terribly by the staff.

So you're a shitty tipper too?

Let's get this thread rollin'

This shit happens all the time, but yeah, it's incredibly obnoxious. I can only think of three situations where not tipping can mean anything other than the fact that you're a total douche:

1. You are from a foreign country and just didn't understand you were supposed to leave a tip. (still minorly douchey)
2. You just plain forget. (still moderately douchey)
3. You receive the most absolutely terrible service you've ever experienced. (acceptable once or twice a decade)

In this case, she outright acknowledged that she knew she was supposed to tip but just wasn't because she couldn't afford it. That's on the level of theft if you ask me.

A person doesn't write"Thank You, it was Great" on a ticket when they get horrible service.
