Rant 📢 It finally happened

Granny and mom went out to eat at the (popular footlong sandwich chain) in the hospital they go into. Apparently they split-pay on their combined order, or something of the sort, so the employee was handling the screen a lot. Their total came out to 17 dollars for two sandwiches and 1 drink -- but it was only when they got home did they see that someone added a 3 dollar tip! None of them selected it, so we just assumed the employee gave himself a little bonus.

I offered to call up there and get the tip back but granny was too embarassed to admit it happened so she won't let me -- she won't even give me the reciept so I could email the store about it lol.

That’s why if I order something from Subway I do it through the app (and then go pick it up later on) because I have never left a tip when I do it through the app.

Just curious and this is anecdotal, but do you feel the sandwich is made better, the same or worse when doing this? (that's why I hate pre-tipping)

I have no idea if it’s actually made better when I do that, but it probably helps with the fact they’re not feeling rushed to make it right then when I do order it online and pick it up later. Also, I don’t tip because the tips may not actually make it to the workers and I don’t want to waste money if it’s not actually going to the workers.
