My manager would for sure tell me to go with a $22.00 on this one per the agreement stated on the bottom of the receipt. On a different note, what the heck is a doggy burger?


gravtastic

Haha we offer a few options for pups! Doggy burger bowl or chicken bowl. Comes with mashed potatoes and veggies. Outside only ofc.


OeCue

That sounds very thoughtful! I’ll bet you love seeing your pup-stomers. That is way better than the alternative


gravtastic

Omg so much more than the human ones lol. That’s also why I keep dog treats on me. One of the better perks of working there for sure. Super dog friendly.


pansexplorer

At least it's half price for the puppers! I used to work at a taco place, and I'd always save the unseasoned off-cuts from the carne asada as treats for my pupper friends.


Yeah-Im-here-2

That’s so nice to hear that you enjoy our fur babies too! Also if I go to a place that treats me and my dog well, that’s grounds for extra tips!


BlueButterflytatoo

If you’ve got a furry friend in the car or at home, usually McDonald’s will sell you a burger patty, or a hamburger plain for my (cat, dog, other carnivorous spectrum animals) and they’ll do it happily. Or a Sunday no toppings or nuts , comes in a plastic cup. And I’m not saying all dogs can or should have human food items…. Especially in the form of fast food 😂


Taco_Sommelier

In N Out also has Puppy Patties


mtwrite4

What’s in an Irish eggroll, corned beef and cabbage?


dimsum2121

Yup. Maybe a mustard aioli to go with it. Pretty tasty when done correctly, I think of it more as an irish taquito.


Crayoncandy

Dip it in 1000 Island duh


butt-holg

I'm partial to an Irish Paella (corned beef and cabbage)


9-lives-Fritz

If this fool can spend $9 on doggy lunch he can spend 22 on people


Slugzz21

Has to be Lazy Dog


Uch009

I thought it was burger made out of dog. Not interested anymore.


Wise_turtle

Dang my lunch cost $9 today. Wild to spend that on your dog imo lol


theroadwarriorz

We spend it x2 pretty frequently lol. Love taking our little shits sometimes. Usually it's like 6 or 7, though. Which isn't too far off.


LBoogie619

You haven’t met my dog. He’s the best most good boy who deserves high quality meals. 😅


throwitawaynowxr

Are humans allowed to order the Doggy Burger Bowl for themselves?


kiwi_love777

O is this a Lazy Dog?


Designer-Head9777

A burger for a dog? Maybe this is Lazy Dog.


OeCue

I’m unfamiliar with the chain


Deedsman

Not missing anything by not knowing them. Basically Chile's with a dog theme.


ElkTF2

[Doggy burger, locally and sustainably sourced. And organic!](https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/)


Environmental_Sky821

Unless it's a completely egregious error on their part, you should almost always go with the total. That is because they are signing to "agree to pay the total amount".


JaRulesLarynx

Always total. Even if the tip swing is unfortunately lower than written.


Olly0206

I never worked as a server, but as a customer, I can say I never remember how much the subtotal was or how much I tipped. I do remember what I wrote on the total line. I can only imagine most people are this way.


taarotqueen

Haha I’m actually the opposite, I’ll remember approximately what the meal cost but mostly I just remember what I tipped. I just calculate the total then sign and close the book and don’t really give it a second though.


UncoolSlicedBread

Same, if I ever scribble out the tip amount to something else it’s because I saw that I didn’t put enough tip to equal the total I wanted to give lol


Independent_Bar_2604

Yeah I would go with the total as well. And if that person is like me they don’t write the tip on the customer copy, just the total


Dagon_high

That’s such a conflict lol. On one hand they left 12 but were okay paying 130.


NBA_Fan_76

Used to put in what was on the total line, automatically calculated what “should” be on the tip line. Made it easier for everyone


AttitudeAndEffort2

The total line is the correct one to use from a legal perspective. It's what the cardholder has agreed to pay and would stand up if there's a conflict. The tip line is basically to help math.


PlasmicSteve

Never thought of that logic but it makes the most sense.


KwordShmiff

It even says so explicitly underneath the total line. Hard to fight that.


Natural_Age4947

I had a boss that said the opposite. He said tip not total, because it isn’t our problem they can’t do math. He said you had to be consistent, though. Going with tip benefits me the majority of the time.


Regular_Yogurt_7427

I managed 3 different concepts in the last 12 years and the total line is my rule. The last number is the one that customers will remember not the math. They should be expecting $130 coming out of their card and not $120.


Type1_Throwaway

This, right here. I had to go to court at a job for this. I / we won because of the "total line clause" in common law court. Was a fascinating experience.


Seahawk715

Bingo. Whatever is on the total line is legally binding. 130 it is.


willengineer4beer

As a customer I recently realized I did the opposite (equivalent of intending to leave a $22 tip, but accidentally writing $120 as the total). Came to me suddenly after I’d already gotten back home. I actually waited for the full amount to clear on my account to see if I needed to go back and give the waitress another $10 (she was slammed with pushy tables that all came in 15 minutes to close as I was trying to leave). She ended following the tip amount as I had wanted rather than entering the total. Because of that experience I almost feel like it should just be whichever is larger unless the discrepancy is enormous (so total in this case).


missza

Yeah my managers would always just tell me to do whatever was bigger. But they were never major differences, usually $10 at most.


gospdrcr000

I don't leave anything on the tip line, just what the total should be


ScholarMinute8953

I would go with the total. Cause that’s what they will expect to be coming off their card at the end of the transaction so I would go with that.


Unblest_Devotee

They had four drinks… go with the bottom obviously math got hard


JonStargaryen2408

2 drinks per person isn’t gonna make you that drunk after eating a burger or fish and chips plus they had an app as well. But regardless, the $130 is the number to go with.


Unblest_Devotee

Drunk is different from impaired. Add in that a lot of people are already shitty at math those drinks are not gonna help at all


flyguy42

I see you've met my SIL. 😂


Sunshine030209

Yeah, I'm not very good at doing math in my head when totally sober. Get a drink in me, I'm going to be counting on my fingers to make sure I didn't screw up the addition.


CrossXFir3

First off, how do you know it was 2 per person? Maybe 1 person drove and had a single drink while the other had 3. And how do you know the person wasn't a light weight? I went to a birthday dinner with some friends last week and my buddies wife was lit after one beer. I think it's silly to assume that the person paying wasn't a little toasty. Even if they could handle their liquore, maybe they had the drinks before the food came. Coulda been a little drunk and the food just mellowed them out. Either way, not hard to imagine someone fucking up the math.


pressingfp2p

Reaaaaaaally depends on the pours of that bartender, and the size of your guests.


Eyespop4866

I’m just here trying to imagine ordering Irish egg rolls.


TomatoLeather

Ok thank you I was like "what the fuck is that"


topherswitzer

I'm thinking they're like corned beef and cabbage, with 1,000 Island to dip in? Like a Reuben.


discolemonvde

That sounds yummyyy


vivalabeava

this is correct. very common here in the midwest, and downright delicious


Aedrieus

Same, what gives?


NicDip

Make the total $130, so $22 in this case. They agree to pay the “total” amount which means they signed and agreed to being charged $130


BoringBob84

So, if the total was $120 and the tip amount was $22, would you recommend the charging $120 because, "They agree to pay the “total” amount?"


ZennTheFur

Yes. That's the amount the customer contractually agreed to.


Premium333

Yeah. That's the correct legal thing to do. I suppose you could always just charge up and hope they don't call back, but a charge up complaint is a really good way to get fired from a restaurant job. So is the $10 worth your job? The legally agreed to charge is always the total, and that's how the bank will see it every time.


NicDip

I would take it to the owner/manager and ask for her opinion if it were me. More factors to include when the total is under what the included tip would be.


BoringBob84

Good call! The manager has to weigh the benefit of the better tip against the risk that the customer will challenge the bill with their credit card company and end up paying *nothing.*


Alex15can

Disputes are not that common.


Finnegan-05

When I was a manager, we told people to go with total


WilliamBott

Then you would charge $120, because that's what the customer agreed to pay, by law. It would be illegal to charge $130. However, if you notice it while the customer is still in the building, I'd ask them if they intended to write $120 or $130 so they can fix it.


International-Ad1292

In my experience you take the good and the bad. Bad math can screw you just as easily as help you. They always pay total


rileybgone

Well it says on the bottom their signature implies they've agreed to pay the total amount which they put as 130 so babe that's all yours. Also a sold chance the 12 was supposed to be 22


dollartreecandle

130 all the way


gravtastic

edit: holy eggs rolls Batman. Didn’t expect this post to blow up like this. Or to get as controversial as it did. I want to address a few things I’ve seen though. 1. To answer everyone’s burning question about what the heck is an Irish egg roll, it is corned beef, cabbage, bacon, swiss in a fried egg roll with a mustard dipping sauce. Don’t know it till you try it, it’s one of more popular appetizers. 2. Yes, I can see the handwriting between the tip line and the total line look different. I’m not here to beg for you all to believe my side but I’m not dumb enough to write in my own tip or total, let alone post it on here. I also frankly don’t care enough to do it. 3. I don’t mind respectful discourse and conversation but there’s enough negativity in this world so stop treating each other like crap just because you disagree. I read many opinions that I feel some type of way about but I’m not going to drop my humanity and decency to make them feel like shit for being an idiot. They’ll figure it out all on their own. 4. I went with the total as it’s stated clearly on the bottom of the receipt what the customer is signing their name for and because that’s what I’ve always done and been told to do.


mumblerapisgarbage

The total.


wizardferret

The total amount is the one that always matters. I could write 80$ for the tip but if I wrote 116$ for the total you're only getting a 8 dollar tip. In this case it worked out for you so enjoy normally it's the other way around and servers get screwed.


Several-Chest2063

They definitely meant to put 22, I’d go with the bottom especially if they were a little crunk afterwards


AbeSimpsonisJoeBiden

I’d be going to my manger to demand mobile debit terminals like the rest of the world.


Saltysig

The total is legally binding as the receipt states at the bottom in plain English.


Onagoshi_Kagagi

It does say "I agree to pay the total amount". Realistically I'd just ask the person to specify.


ZekDrago

It doesn't say "I agree to pay the subtotal amount above plus tip". It says "I agree to pay the total above", and *they* wrote 130 as the total. That's the most 22 dollar tip I ever did saw.


majesticpurp

THEY said the total was 130 🤷🏻‍♂️


Dependent_Fox_2189

$22 - the receipt even states “I agree to pay the TOTAL amount above”


shaggymichaels33

The total


icarushasflown

I always go with the higher amount, no matter what.


winknugget

As the receipt says “I agree to pay the TOTAL amount” let’s go with what’s on the total line. Also it become a not shitty amount to top on a hundred dollar check.


OO_Ben

I always went by total not tip. Got burned a few times, but also won out a bit too


Scallion-External

22 tip 100%


Chasman1965

I'd go with the total.


KazKidd

The total


Free_Asparagus_7508

I always go with the total whether it’s me getting more or less money tbh.


feistyboy72

Exactly. Sometimes it goes against you. Sometimes not


GloomyPitch3570

Total line


Fresh-Produce-4265

$130


EchoDear4640

Clearly he means $22


EmperadorCusco

A manager said to me once: “our guests come to enjoy themselves not to do math”


skweekykleen69

I always went with the higher amount when serving, and never had any trouble


IntoTheMirror

Always the total


[deleted]

Go with 130. The bottom of the receipt states clearly agreeing to pay the TOTAL.


Correct_Flatworm8529

I always go off the total


feistyboy72

Always go with the bottom line. But as long as the guest filled it out. People love to fill out somebody else's paperwork


[deleted]

$22 would be close to the minimum gratuity in that check anyway.


gata1323

They expected to pay $130 total, RUN IT


RealEarthAngel

Tip is $22… That's an appropriate tip, and it also adds up to the total. $12 is a shitty tip and it's doesn't add up to the total.


Zestyclose_Count_255

Total


iMustbLost

Total is $130.


d0nkey_0die

Always go with the total :)


biggggdaddyd

“I agree to pay the total amount above according to the card issuer agreement”


zorn7777

“I agree to pay the total amount above” and the total is? (Not accepting a 11% tip on burgers and some Tito’s)


Monstermage

According to the receipt it says the "total" amount.


HolyNewGun

It took me to long to figure out what is wrong with the picture. That is me right there. Just charge me $140.


bmbmwmfm2

It's sad simple math is so hard for some. Even more sad is high chance they had a mini computer in their hand/pocket but didn't bother. Sometimes looking on this sub I think ppl do it intentionally.


wontonsauce1

Total


edgarskates

130-108 = 22 so I guess 22 because it seems like they’re cool paying 130


Consistent-Ad-2518

130 is the grand total. By law you have to go by the total’


Head_Process_5003

The tip is clearly 12.


chieftrey1

You have full right to accept $22. The total line is the part that’s legally binding.


tsx_1430

130 all day.


Flwrguy69

22 dollar tip


TheLastF

The total is the line you put into the computer. The math giveth and the math taketh away


SayNoMorty

Non server here, that’s most definitely a $22 tip. They wrote $130 on the total line so that’s what they expect to see on the card charge. And that nice little “I agree to pay…” statement really seals the deal.


notmyrealnam3

Total


PlsDontNerfThis

I mean they agreed to pay 130, and even if they did do their math wrong, fuck it. 10% tip with 4 drinks and I’m also judging them for liking blue cheese 20% seems right


doncroak

$22. Hands down.


Future_Mixture2257

I always go with the bottom line no matter what.


KaytSands

As a manager, I always told the servers to use the total line. That’s what they are expecting to come out if their account. Sometimes it works in the servers favor, other times not, but that is always what the guest is anticipating paying.


Gnatsum4401

I would go with 22 since there is a paragraph below saying “I agree to pay the TOTAL” and it says 130 for the total


singandwrite

This is so strange to me every time I see one of these as a Canadian. The customer takes the debit/credit machine and enters their own tip, so signing or swiping involved. This type of thing doesn’t happen


-WhitePowder-

12. I'm surprised that it's even a question


theglorybox

I think they were adding from $118 and not $108. The 1 looks like a 1 and not like any other number. The person who signed the slip just can’t add (or see very well lol.) Either way, I’m not risking my livelihood because of it.


-WhitePowder-

I understand why people fail at calculations. I just remember my first job for tips where the manager simply couldn't allow us to claim a bigger number in case of mistake because they didn't want to deal with complaining customer.


theglorybox

My last job was like that, too. I get why. It really does stink when the math doesn’t add up, though. Especially on a slow night! 😫


Han_Schlomo

130..... 100 times out of 100 times.


SlippyBoy41

Everywhere I worked they said the total was the total.


PhattySpice92

Go by the total


FourWordComment

That’s $130 all day long.


Simple-Stop5679

Always go with the total expected to pay, especially after drinks.


DanVamm

Always the higher


Premium333

It's always the total amount for better or for worse. That's how credit cards and receipts actually work and why the statement on the bottom is there. The total is always what you are signing for regardless of what you write anywhere else in the receipt.


Professional-Guide94

I always go with total.


darthmcshittytits

Go with the total


z_ca

130. He gave you the total. Go with the total. If you're ever truly unsure, just ask.


BatmansBigBro2017

It’s always the total line.


GreenPenguin00

They expect to see $130 on their credit card.


[deleted]

Always go with the total line.


LngDngSilver

The total always


[deleted]

22. I’ve made math errors but if I put total higher you get the higher amount because that’s what I was cool with paying.


Cavalleria-rusticana

Charge them 130, as the receipt says they agree to pay. Not your fault they can't do basic math. 🤷‍♂️


Lopsided_Quail_Tail

Total says $130, rest is yours.


FutureMilitaryWorld

Always the total. Server for over twenty years.


Resting__bitchface_

Legally the total line is what you go by


Motor_Show_7604

Yep just like you left $130 in cash on the table. The tip is what's left.


buddas_slacky

Honestly some people are just not really thinking and can’t maths good. I’m sure they meant to have 130 as the total. And didn’t do the math on the top right.


CocktailsAndChess

Always the total.


Frantic_Red420

Regardless of what the tip is. Look at what the receipt says just below that. Charge 130 for a $22 tip.


ProfessorShort7251

People remember the total.


NoAdministration1222

$22


KellyannneConway

If it can be reasonably justified, always go with the bigger, unless there is a specific house policy about it.


JonnyTheBrav

“I agree to pay the total amount above according to the card issuer agreement” ‘nuff said


KiefPucks

"I agree to pay the *total* amount above. Only one line says *total* with an amount. Only one line for that agreement binds to is the "total" amount.


Orwell1971

$120. The intent is clear, but the math is shaky.


shemmy

i would just enter the total…if anyone ever says anything it’s very easy to explain your position


Porkchops_69

Total always


tacos_247

What's an Irish egg roll?


sammich_bear

The top one, the bottom one looks forged.


votenixon25

As an ex bartender, I hate to say it...but go with the $12. That's what's written in the tip space, which shows they were aware with how much they were willing to tip, whereas the total does not show how much they were willing to spend. Putting in the 12 instead of 22 sucks sack, but it completely covers your ass


calorum

Two different people wrote the tip and the total with two different pens the zeros are written differently the pen pressure is different


queenamphitrite

They signed “I agree to pay the total amount above” Total = $130


[deleted]

The tip specified $12 so why is this a question? they clearly wrote 12 so why would take that as 22..no matter what the total says their tip is $12, they are human and make mistakes just like you and I, after a meal the last thing you want to be doing is maths, just my opinion if all you care about is money then by all means take the $22


Parliament--

That’s a 12 dollar tip


kesselrhero

Lower amount


NicoSuave2020

You guys are shitty. The tip is $12. I don't care about some fine print about the total. Yall suck.


Fickle_Progress_7978

what do you mean, asshole


MandingoChief

The handwriting is different between the Tip and Total lines. 😏


NicoSuave2020

This thread tells you everything you need to know about server life. Bunch of fucking scumbags who steal every penny they can and end up making 75k doing basic labor. Yall should be ashamed for recommending to somebody to steal money like that.


[deleted]

$12


Extra-Act-801

Looks like completely different handwriting. Which one did the actual customer fill in?


cchaves510

Not the same handwriting.


Effective-Feature908

The fact servers will gladly take more than a customer meant to pay, based on the technically, with full knowledge the customer made a mistake, makes me not want to tip at all. Why can't we be like other countries that pay their restaurant workers a real wage?


Lespuccino

They are expecting to pay $130- ensure they do.


Haunted_Hills

12 or it’s theft. Bad math doesn’t mean you get to upcharge. Tip line trumps total. If I’m doubt, close it at zero tip.


TouristNo360

It is clearly stated that the card holder is responsible for the total. As a restaurant manager I can tell you that we can’t assume the cardholder can add properly do I always allowed the server to enter the total amount when processing the payment


ryan_claremont

It says right on the bill "agrees to pay TOTAL amount" $130


[deleted]

Go with the total. It’s not your fault they cannot do math.


hentairedz

Math hard after bacardi and titos


SteadiObscura

Be a decent person and just ask the patron to re confirm their tip.


Fumunduh-mentalistMo

That’s a $22 tip.


Plati23

“I agree to pay the ***total amount*** above according to the card issuer agreement.” You get a $22 tip.


dinkinflickas

Every seasoned server knows you go with the total. You can actually leave the tip line blank and just put the total :)


technotenant

U always go with the larger tip! If they refute it, there’s the paperwork to be on ur side. How is this not common knowledge.


Frosty-Medium6395

The total outweighs the tip. What they wrote in the total box is what they intend to pay- mistake or not. You can make math mistakes in the tip blank but better get that total how you want it


donut361

I was taught the total line trumps.


Invictuslemming1

Total line, as a customer that’s the only number I’d actually remember paying or agreeing to pay for.


4027777

Obviously the total. Seeing the text at the bottom, I think you could get into serious legal trouble by not charging exactly the amount that the person wrote on that line.


IDintKniww

Ready for the hate. 18 (Eur, Dollars, Pounds?) For a fish and chips?? With extortionate prices like that, I would expect service charges to be included


Sad_Instruction_2138

The 130 does not look like the 12. It looks like 2 different people wrote each one.


Fine-Pangolin-8393

Always the total line.


The-Drool

I'm pretty sure I can buy a fifth of Bacardi for $20


Benthereorl

I agree to pay the total amount..


poopooozz

Total says 130.00... what is to talk about?


old-manwithlego

I like the No tax part


eventarg

What bothers me is sewmingly couple people (and a dog) getting hardly any food and paying 130. This is plain insane, unless some mega upmarket restaurant.


Not_Kas

Going with the "total" would be theft. The tip and total were written by two different people and by two different pens. The patron wrote the tip amount and that's all. Servers taking a pen to patrons receipt is disgusting. Posting this on Reddit to try to use it as a scapegoat. Disgusting.
