Is this illegal? Waitress adding fraudulent tip to herself on my signed receipt?
Yes, it is forgery the moment the waitress altered a financial document you had already signed. It is also fraud for obtaining an "extra tip" that you did not authorize. These are criminal offenses, regardless of how small the amount is. The police must investigate, but it's your word against hers, unless you have witnesses. In effect, you would have to prove the slip was altered. Maybe different ink, handwriting? You can also immediately complain to the credit card company, which will initiate a charge-back, but the merchant may have a copy of the "signed" credit slip and you have the burden of proving you didn't authorize the amount above your signature. Oh, wait, you said debit card. Different rules, sorry. Immediately contact your bank about a fraudulent withdrawal in an unauthorized amount. I usually write "cash tip" on the tip-line, re-write the sub-total on the total line and only THEN sign the slip, also noting on my copy how much cash tip I put it on. BTW: It's not "robbery" unless someone used force or threat of force to obtain property from your person.
If you were a server in a restaurant and your customer did not tip you, would you chase them outside of the restaurant and confront them for that?
When I was serving in college, We would routinely have about 8+ tables per server. During happy hour (it was college after all), things would get extraordinarily busy.I never cared if someone didn't tip me if they were in and out quickly and easily. Heck, I didn't even care if I was stiffed on a bigger table that just drank pitchers all night because it wasn't a big inconvenience to drop off a pitcher or two when making my rounds.There was one time I got super pissed at a customer though.It was a two-top, paying separately. One customer I don't even recall. If he was as dissatisfied as the jerk, I never would have known it. But the jerk is the point of this story.So when you're slammed as a server, you do your best to bring everyone what they need as quickly as you can. This customer asked for extra sauce. No, another extra sauce. They needed a refill on their drink. And each time I happily complied, I got the worst attitude from him, like I'd kicked him in the shin the day before. I honestly did my best to bring him what he needed while also serving 40 other people. I don't think my service was bad. I was attentive and accurate, I just wasn't fast because, you know, 40 other customers.So they ask for their checks and I settle them out. The annoying customer paid with cash, which was another hassle. There was one drawer to make change from and about 12 servers use that same drawer so when it's busy, all the small change has already been used. His bill was $8.45. I did not bring him the full $11.55 change from his $20, which was common to do at this restaurant, because finding and making change was such a difficult task for the servers. Generally we rounded to the closest quarter because who tips less than a quarter? I brought him back his change from a $20: a five dollar bill, six singles, and two quarters.I visit the table a little while later, as they haven't left yet. This guy wants his nickel. The one I shorted him. He did not want me to have his $0.05 either out of spite, or poor service, or to make some grand point.My head was about to explode because this guy was such a pain in the ass and so rude, so I grabbed a handful of quarters out of my apron and tossed them on the table and asked them to excuse themselves from the table as others were waiting to take it.It was the best. So cathartic.TL;DRAbsolutely not, unless you straight up piss that server off in the process.

Are restaurant owners legally allowed to split tips with the waiters?
I paid my way through college witressing. NEVER did the owner split our tips, which we already shared with bus people, the hostess, and sometimes the bartender and cooks!! I don't know if it's legal or not. That's a great question. Remind me to give you a star. I wish a lawyer would answer this question! Is there a law category? I'll have to look. Then I'll ask it! I don't blame you for being furious. That is so out of line. I wonder what the manager would say.......The more I think about it, the angrier I get for you. It's just not fair. I DO think all you waiters should tell the manager about this. Or is the owner the manager too? You're probably just screwed. If you do find out it's illegal, you should all take some action. That SUCKS!! >:-<
As a cashier, when someone tells you to keep the change, is it really necessary to tell your boss about the...?
Nah, it's not necessary. When this happens to me, I usually still try to politely hand it to them. If not, I just put it in the Children's charity donation bin at the till. As a cashier, the amount of money in your till will be a bit off due to little errors. Such as punching in the cash someone gives you incorrectly or giving the wrong amount of change back. Don't worry about it unless it's a significant amount(then they may suspect that you have stolen or misplaced the money). hope that helps!
Can my boss take my tips?
Today i went on a delivery at this fast food sub shop i work at. I recieved a handsom tip, but when i returned, my boss had told me to give him all the cash (including the tip money). He then told me that we dont take tips. Is that legal? Is it right? Can he just take tip money from his employees?
