'He ripped us off': Following dinner at restaurant, group hands friend money to pay server, but he keeps the tip for himself

The tipping culture these days is something that has definitely gotten out of hand. Setting aside the ridiculous expectations that people should be tipped for even the smallest of services, even hardworking waiters and servers should be getting their money from their employers, and not have to rely on tips from customers. Still, this is how things are, and a large percentage of waiters' income is in fact, from tips. 

Which is why this Reddit story is so infuriating. OP went out to dinner with their sister, her boyfriend, and some other friends. When the check came, the entire group agreed to give cash (for both the meal and the tip) to the boyfriend and that he'd pay for everything with his credit card. A day later, OP came back to the restaurant and discovered that the boyfriend didn't actually leave a tip and that he probably took that money for himself. This caused an angry fight between OP, the sister, and the boyfriend.
