I live in central Alaska where my daughter worked at a recycling center that received surplus and returned products and materials from contractors and businesses. Due to the expense of shipping back to the lower 48, Lowes and Home Depot sent all returned merchandise to this recycler, rather than ship it back to their headquarters thousands of miles away, under the agreement that the recycler would shred and salvage the metals only, however, they allowed employees to take home whatever they could use. I received numerous, expensive appliances and equipment from my daughter with absolutely nothing wrong with them. Lacking service departments, the big box stores couldn't verify customer claimed defects, and I believe many items had been purchased with the intent of one-time use and then were returned to the store for full refund. This becomes the cost of doing business, and I am certain, a significant inflation driver.

Tips for Jesus is more of a giving in the name of Jesus to show the love of Jesus to someone who could really use the blessing, it's not for Jesus or because they were told to by Jesus. Just a loving gesture because they love Jesus so much and want to share that love with others. Done correctly it's an awesome thing to do and blesses. The giver too.

Provided they're not going behind the scenes and trying to take back what they've given (like some we've seen) I see nothing wrong with it. In my book, it's a Win-Win-Win situation. They get their much desired clout, someone gets help that they might desperately need (which very well might be the difference between life and death) and we get a heart warming video to watch. And you can add in another Win if that video inspires someone else to go out and help someone.

Not really. I am not a lawyer, but I was in business and took credit cards. I did a 2,000 job for a guy, my cost in parts and subcontractors was around a 1,500. The guy paid with a credit card. I performed the work satisfactorily according to the work order at the price agreed on in the work order that he signed. I took credit cards then. About two weeks later he reversed the charges on me and in turn the credit card company reversed their payment causing me to bounce a number of checks at 30.00 each. To get my money I had to sue the guy for breach of contract in civil court. He signed the credit card slip and that is a contract. By signing he was agreeing to pay that amount. It cost me more to hire a lawyer to sue him than the 2,000 bill. I would have been better off financially to just eat the loss and let it go, but I was pissed. I won. I think I was in court about 30 minutes. It was pretty open and shut. Needless to say that I have never taken credit cards in any business again. For all new customers it is cash only. If you are somebody that I know I might take your check. I have probably lost business because of it, but I do not get pissed so much. If the charges get reversed that is breach of contract to me and a civil action, but he is not defrauding the credit card company so it is not criminal. If he does not pay the credit card company, that is still civil because he is not paying a debt that he owes. If he outright lies to the credit card company that is criminal and credit card fraud. At least that is the way that my lawyer explained it to me, that was 30 years ago. After 30 years my memory might be a little foggy. That guy signing the credit card slip for the tip is a contract. He is agreeing to pay 3,000 and there are no backsies. The restaurant might have a pretty good case for breach of contract. I am not a lawyer, but that is how I would go. The problem is the restaurant is out the 3,000 until it works through court. I think it took me about a year.

I am in England. I was working away and alone. I went for a meal at a restaurant and left a cash tip. I paid by card for me meal. Now this was 30 years ago and I only had a £5 note in my wallet so I left it for the server. She saw it, went mental and shouted "What do you want from me, I am not going to sleep with you". I swear this is 100% true. My dinner bill was £30.00 so @ 10% I should have only left her £3.00. I left and never went back. Way before phones with cameras and social media of any modern sense. I was humiliated in public because I didn't have the correct change for a tip. I will never forget it.

Tipping is rare in British restaurants, and not at all expected.

Honestly, "fraud" in regards to this case would be EXTEREMLY HARD if not impossible to prove. Here all he has to argue is that he was intending to be "generous" by leaving a $30.00 tip on a $13.00 bill and he was distracted or something and accidently put what appears to be a comma after then 3 rather than a point after the 1st zero. Unless you can go back in time and read minds, there is no way to disprove that, should it be his argument. This assumes that he wrote $3,000 and not $3,000.00 which honestly, I've seen many people do, omit the zero's that would be after the point and not put the point.

Could be he wrote “3000” and the decimal was light or missing, they asked him, “Did you really want to leave such a large tip?” And he responded, “Yeah, for J-man!” Thinking he was tipping $30.

He was probably hoping to take advantage of the way tips are added to credit card charges. They give him a bill for $13, and he hands them his credit card. They run the credit card for $13, print a receipt, and hand it back to him. He writes $3000 as a tip and a total of $3013, and leaves. The restaurant then takes the receipt, reads how much tip he added, and modifies the credit card charge (similar to issuing a refund) from $13 to $3013. If he calls his credit card and disputes the charge, he can claim he didn't leave a tip. And the restaurant staff must have written in the $3k tip themselves. It's plausible because tips are added to the bill after the customer has left. So if he'd left those blank, the restaurant could have written in $3k as the tip and add "30" in front of the 13 for the total. And he can claim the restaurant is lying when they said they confirmed with him multiple times that he meant to tip $3k. This is why if you leave a tip, it's important to write a $ sign before the numbers. And kudos to the restaurant for fronting the $3k shortfall while they sue, instead of making the waitress give it back.

What are 500 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? Answer: A start.

That porch-painting hypothetical is simply an oral contract: there's offer, acceptance, and full performance by one of the parties. No need for promissory estoppel there. A more realistic promissory estoppel situation would be something like: A homeowner messages a contractor online and says, "If you paint my porch tomorrow, I'll pay you $400"; the contractor decides to forego a different job he was already scheduled to do in order to take on this new job. The next day, he travels two hours to reach the man, ready to do the work; however, the man now says, "I changed my mind." The contractor never formally accepted the offer, but he relied on the homeowner's promise to his detriment (by forgoing the existing job and shelling out for travel expenses). That's a promissory estoppel situation.

At the time suing in Small Claims cost $100 however ALL judgements in Small Claims included court costs, attorneys fees, miscellaneous fees, etc, automagically (and I also had that specifically stated in our contract as well). He paid AFTER he was served and before trial. Now it cost him over $190 (cost for Certified Mail).

Sometimes a large tip can fall flat with the server: About 10 years ago, I overheard the waitress telling the customers at the next table that even though she talks with her mother on the phone every night, she hadn't seen her mother in almost 13 years. I had eaten in that restaurant probably around 100 times and had enjoyed chats with her many times. So I asked her why she hadn't visited her mother in 13 years. She said that every time she had started saving for that purpose, life threw her a financial curve ball. I told her that I had a lot of airline points and asked if she would like for me to give her a round-trip ticket between Orlando and Detroit. She said yes. I asked her for travel dates and she gave them to me after checking her calendar. I went home, arranged for the round-trip ticket, printed out the information, and drove back to the restaurant, all within about 45 minutes. I handed her the printed copy of the ticket. She looked annoyed, but said "Thanks" under her breath in a way that implied, "thanks, I suppose." Neither she nor I ever brought it up again. Just before her trip was to have taken place, she quit working at the restaurant and so I don't know if she ever took the free trip to see her mother.

maybe she was trying to swindle you out of your money

What I'm thinking is that she tried selling you a sob story so she could swindle you out of your money. She wanted money and the story about her mother was a total lie.

Clearly, the waitress’s narrative was more important than reality. Kind of like, ‘my parent(s) is the ‘problem,’ but I’ve been big to move above it all. But your generous act effectively revealed a dark backstory lies beyond. I think what’s most disturbing is that her loving mother believes her frequent interaction with her daughter is authentic, when it’s all been a Machiavellian ruse.

There is more expense to a trip than the flight. Who pays her bills during the week she is gone? What about expenses during the trip? Even just extra fees incurred while going to and from the airport. She didn't get a free trip. She got a pricey obligation.

This actually happened at my restaurant 3 weeks ago. 😂 Sadly, the server ended up paying $700 back to the restaurant.

I give this restaurant much respect for not doing that or accepting the gofundme. They're holding the appropriate party accountable.
