When you go to a restaurant, you usually give the server your credit card, they ring up the bill and bring you back the receipt. At that point, you put in the amount you want to give as a tip. Normally, you don’t see the final receipt (after the tip is rung up) at the restaurant.
You assume the server will input the amount you stipulated.

When you get the credit card statement, you can see the actual amount charged to your account. I have never had any issues with this method.

Doug Woodward went to a local Texas Roadhouse and was overcharged – by the server. Woodward’s waitress decided to give herself a larger tip!

The first time it happened, Woodward let it slide. The second time it happened, he told the manager and didn’t go back to that location for a year.

The third time he was overcharged at the Texas Roadhouse the waitress gave herself an additional $8 tip on top of the $10 tip Woodward authorized. Woodward and his wife took their receipt and showed the manager.

The extra $8 may not seem like a big deal to many people, but Woodward is a disabled veteran living on a fixed income. Texas Roadhouse fired the waitress and refunded the Woodward’s, they got their meal for free.

In a shocking update, it turns out the whole thing was fabricated by Woodward! He was the slimeball, not the waitress. The server was given her job back, and Woodward has been banned from Texas Roadhouse.
