Credit Card Fraud - Restaurants/Clubs
Thursday, April 4, 2024 2:24 PM
With the previous post about a club only accepting credit cards as forms of payments, it got me thinking, have you ever had bogus charges on your card after going to a restaurant / club-bar / strip club?
Before COVID I used to take clients out a lot even if it was grabbing a quick lunch at a sit down establishment. In a years time I probably would have over 150 transactions in one of the above mentioned places where I had to add in a tip at the end of the bill. I’m not talking a Panera or Starbucks where tipping is relatively new or other places will here tipping is questionable, I’m talking a sit down restaurant where you are waited on or a bar. I’ve always waited for the day when a tip amount is going to be different that what I wrote on the receipt, but to the best of my knowledge it’s never happened.
Has it happened to you? I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t happened to me, or maybe it has a few times and I didn’t notice, but I’m usually pretty meticulous about receipts because I need them for business purposes.
Lastly - tipping guilt is a real thing and I fall for it all the time, mainly because I fear looking like an asshole and an extra couple of bucks here and there isn’t going to kill me.
