Restaurant...Tip question?

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 AGAIN

Answer 1

call the local police the manager can't do that unless he was the one giving the tip

Answer 2

It was a mistake. Your manager is saving you and him time and trouble from when the guy comes in a month with his credit card statement cussing everybody out.

And the bill was only $58.23?? You must work at a Applebees/Chili's/Denny's type of restaurant. Sorry to break it to u bud, but nobody tips $100 at those kind of joints.

Answer 3

I'll bet the manager pocketed the $100.  He should have given you your tip money and if the man complained then it should have been addressed as a mistake.  If you have access to the man's name I would call him and ask.  Can you complain to the owner of the restaurant?  

Answer 4

changing a tip is illegal, by an employee or a manager

he can't do that

only the customer can

Answer 5

If it clearly says 110.00 then thats what it is.  Id be pissed.
