She shouldn’t have posted about it on social media! Diving further into this, it seems that there was a dispute over the taxes. That for whatever reason, the restaurant had to pay the taxes on it, rather than coming from her tip directly.
Either way, it seems like there is more to this than restaurant bad, employee good - as is presented here.
WHY would the restaurant have to pay the taxes and not the waitress?? Makes NO sense!
“She shouldn’t have posted about it on social media!”
Super-correct. She should have reported 20% tip and secretly pocketed the 10k minus a few bucks.
