A restaurant server revealed that she was let go from her job for a reason that she claims was completely out of her control.
In a TikTok video, the server, Mar, explained that she had recently lost her job because a customer had tipped her a large sum of money. However, when the customer called the establishment to dispute the tip amount, Mar's job was caught in the crossfire.
Accordiong to Your Tango, Mar claims that while working, she had been given a generous tip from a patron. At the restaurant she worked for, if a server was given a tip over 40% they would have to inform the manager who would put it into the system for them. After getting a $100 tip, Mar immediately took it to her manager so it could be inputted into their system.
"The tip plus the total check equaled the grand total at the bottom with the signature of the customer," Mar explained, adding that she was completely unaware that she shouldn't have accepted the tip amount. Shortly after that, Mar was called into an impromptu meeting with the restaurant's general manager and another higher-up that she's known for some time.
They both asked Mar questions about the $100 tip she received. She informed them that she had received the large amount and her manager had let her take it since he didn't see anything wrong with it. "Then I found out that the guy who paid call[ed]."
