Tipping Generously
Whitney felt that the stellar waitress deserved more than the normal tip. So, when it came time to settle the $45.50 bill, she included an extra $10 for the waitress. That’s almost one-fourth of the cost of the meal, which, by restaurant tipping standards, is ultra-generous.
Most waiters and waitresses would call this a win, even if they have to split the tips with their co-workers clocking out and going home. But here’s where things take a turn for the worst. The waitress wasn’t as ecstatic as Whitney had hoped. The waitress ended up doing something that should’ve landed her in jail.
