Steakhouse waitress tries to trick customer into giving 40% tip: 'This deserves... a conversation with the manager'

This person almost overpaid for their meal by 40%. It's a good thing they pushed back against their waitress's odd ideas!

Most waiters who rely on tips make a really good hourly wage from that. Their actual wage from their employer can be just a few dollars per hour — $2.50 an hour is common — but they may make $30 or $40 in tips each hour if they're working a mealtime rush. And the further you get into the fine-dining atmosphere, the more cash you'll be taking home with you at the end of each week. If you work at a 5-star restaurant, you'll be making an incredible amount of money off the generosity of customers. That's why this steakhouse waitress's actions were quite bizarre, and they caught the eye of this diner, who told their story below. 

I think if the manager hears about this interaction, the waitress won't be keeping her job for much longer. She can claim she was just confused about the rules, but I doubt that this is her first attempt to leech extra money from her patrons. It's an off-putting experience for a customer to deal with… a good manager would want to know about that and make it a more comfortable atmosphere for future diners.
