Credit card tips taken by employer...?

Question

I wait tables, and I recently had quite an unusual experience. 3 people eating...bill was $58.23. Man paying with credit card....In the tip line he wrote $110.00, and then wrote $168.23 on the total line. I cashed out after my shift and clocked out. The manager coming in for the next shift seen it and said the tip was too high, and he said the man could of been drinking and could of made a mistake.(This oncoming manager who took the tip away never seen this table, and the man was NOT drunk!) He went into the system and changed the tip from $110.00 to $10.00. I then had to give $100.00 of my tip-out back to the restaurant. Please someone help me out with this. If the man wrote the tip, the CORRECT total, and signed it, how can my manager justify making me give $100.00 back to the restaurant. (LOUISIANA)

Thanks

Answer 1

Be a man and tell you manager that he owes you the money or you will have to make his life miserable.  Use your imagination!

Answer 2

He can't.  You should contact the dept of labor.
