How to Save Money

[Guest]

I used to be a manager and close out the tills and run the credit/debit

slips at night. Even with a line through the tip area, the person that

knows how to “manage changes” on the machine can add whatever they want

to your bill. It is still safer to put a line through the tip area

because then you can dispute any problems, BUT it does not protect you

from the hassle of having to get your money back.

I hope the person that added the tip gets fired. That is ridiculous

that the place was letting anyone besides management handle the changes

to ammount on the machine at all. The two places I worked for always

had just the managers do that.

About your best bet is to inform them of the tip ammount BEFORE they

run the card, then the tip line is already filled in when it is

printed. You can tell them to put in a no ammount tip, but it makes you

sound cheap… LOL. 🙂

I have seen things like this happen sooooo many times, I personally say

that vigilance is your best friend. Check all your reciepts against

your banks website or your paper statement. You would be amazed at how

often this happens. $1 here and $1 makes for a happy thief.

to never leave the tip area blank. put a zero’s with a big line thru

it. she has seen to many of her co-workers add tips later. Some people

think oh its just a dollar here and there. They add up fast! One other

tip is to check when you fill up at gas stations. One station my

husband used charged one dollar for the convience to pay at the pump!!

guess they are losing sells due to the fact that we aren’t coming

inside to buy that over priced soda.
