This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I also don't tip

Because I don't go to restaurants with servers

I vote with my wallet that the whole concept is stupid, I hate paying 20% for someone to be fake nice and move food 10 feet

This is the way. By going but not tipping you're just fucking over the server, not the business. To hurt the business' bottom line you have to not go. Or dine and dash, but that then fucks the server harder while also affecting the business.

What about dine and dash, while leaving a cash tip?

9/10 chance that goes to cover part of your bill and the waiter gets fucked, but if you could guarantee they pocket it that'd work.

Hmm, maybe slip it to them when asking for the bill?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

That’ll get them fired for looking like they conspired with you

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Sure, that might work, or give it to them up front (protip btw, you want GREAT service? Frontload that tip, your server will break the law for you if you do that lol).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not exactly legal, but a lot of places will charge the server for a done and dash.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Hmm, what about fake checks? Surely there's an angle here where the server isn't punished, I don't go to jail, and the restaurant takes a hit.

They should be replaced with automated mechanical food shuttles. I would tip those.

How else do you plan to knock them over?
