Notice this remarkable “offer” at the bottom of the receipt from Denny’s Restaurant:
“If we forget to charge you for any item you received, we are sorry. Please notify the manager and that item will be free. Also, for your help, we will give you a $10.00 gift card to use on your next visit to Denny’s. Thank you.”
In other words, if some poor server forgot to list something you ate on your check, you can either let it go, or you can report the guilty party to management and still not have to pay for the food (and you get a ten-dollar reward for fingering the guilty party).
Is it just us or does this read like some kind of bounty? We’re not smart enough to know what the scam is, but heaven help the poor server who gets caught running it at that Denny’s.
Feel free to enlighten us in the comments.

Holiday Layaway Starting A Month Earlier This Year At Walmart, With A Few Changes
Wait staff get’s paid minimun wage where I live. Well I get paid minimum wage at my job, but I’ve only got tipped twice in 2 years. No tip?: 300 a week? That’s about 100 bucks more than I make. Until you start tipping every other menial job then quit your bitching about how much of a shit job they have and they deserve tips. I’m sure in other countries where it is uncommon to tip that they actually have respect for their customers and aren’t trying to rape them for their hard earned money. It’s merely taking advantage of a social situation/tradition. If I can make it on minimum wage then servers can too, and they can quit their bitching or get a different job that doesn’t tip. Ungrateful bastards.
