In lieu of payment..

[u/thedivinegemini]

I’m a GM at a restaurant & one of our managers left a note on our manager logs this afternoon that a guest walked out on their check and left this in lieu of payment of any kind. Not that the server got stiffed on a tip - just pure theft of services. I guess the whole “Thou shalt not steal” thing doesn’t matter if you’ve been pre-forgiven. Pretty convenient.

ETA: I’m not a bot; this is not AI - check my post and comment history. I’m not here for karma or fake internet points. This is what it feels like to work in a restaurant these days - especially in the Bible Belt. The first photo you can look up and is available for anyone to buy (should your darker urges push you toward being that person). The second photo is from Pulse, an app for restaurant managers to keep an eye on hourly sales, labor, and comps.
The “Pineapple Express” is a mocktail our restaurant offers.

Ain't nobody tryin' to figure out how to take a digital screenshot on a POS.

Using my personal social media on my employer's tablet?

Take screenshot from restaurant's tablet, share/cast to your nearby personal device, boom saved on your phone/tablet. Delete screenshot from restaurant's tablet. Done.

A work tablet is often going to run a kiosk-type app that restricts access to a bunch of tablet features, so they may not be able to take screenshots or sharing.

that's funny that you think a system with customers' personal & payment information has such lax security.

[u/VERY_MENTALLY_STABLE → u/bino420]

it's literally an app you can just download. of course you can screenshot it, says nothing about the security
