{just a tip}


Thought I'd share this TIP with y'all.
Andrew and I went on a date on Saturday.
Nothing special--we just went to Wingers for a bite to eat.
When we got our bill, I noticed something strange......
On the bottom of the receipt it said
"For your convenience you may use this tip calculator"
What's strange about that you ask?
The amounts.
What they were saying was a 15% tip.....
was actually a 33% tip.
What they were saying was a 18% tip....
was actually a 37% tip.
What they were saying was a 20% tip....
was actually a 40% tip.
For real.
I double checked like 4 times to make sure I wasn't crazy.
Nope. Wingers is crazy....
or they're trying to take advantage of people who are bad at math.
I usually consider myself a nice tipper.
But according to Wingers' standard.....
I'm not a good tipper.
Moral of the story...
I know economic times are rough....
but don't rely on the restaurant for calculating your tip...
They might be trying to pull something on you.

I think that is ridiculous. Makes me mad when people try to up charge me.

Oh my!! Are you kidding? I guess that's smart on their end. Thanks for figuring that one out for me... I'm one of those "bad at math" people they would take advantage of.
