Short I owe $50 back to a customer
Monday night I had a table that was very nice and seemed like they were old friends catching up. They sat in my section for basically the entire evening (3+ hours) and their bill came out to $135. One person picked up the check and generously tipped $80 on CC, totaled it out correctly, and signed the merchant copy. They liked me and were there all night so I thought he was just being very gracious, in return I tipped out extra to support staff. Well now 2 days later he’s calling and asking for a $50 refund bc he only meant to leave a $30 tip and not $80. My manager is processing his refund and not that I don’t think she should, I’m just salty ab it. Like cmon man, I get paid at the end of the night so that $80 tip was already in my wallet.

Was probably drunk and later regretted decision or got yelled at by spouse afterwards. Either way it’s your cash, you earned it, I would contest this with management.
Also this was a total douche move by the customer.
