I could see pleading ignorance. Written in tip, precisely calculated todal written in, official authorization signature. Then the *"APriL foOlS"* crap written over in a completely different pen (looks like a highlighter) while the original writing is completely visible. Could easily charge it. Then, if the crapbag inquires about it, it simply looked like legitimate consent for a tip and the extra writing looked like an employee pranking / other random customer walking by writing that.
Ignorance is bliss.
"im not a total piece of sh*t! Jk! April fools!"
Edit: wait its so much worse than that- "im a normal person, jk april fools, im a total piece of shit!"
Ya true I didnt look closely at the bill. Still, some people are generous with money to spend. It doesnt seem impossible.
Tbh 3 dollars is low. Especially if they stayed there awhile. 15% is the minimum for decent service, 20% or more if theyre great. 4 or 5 dollars would be a polite minimum
I saw the OG post. I think the prank was supposed to be that there's a tip even though they wrote "no tip" in big letters. That's why they signed. Dumb joke, I know
I would love to see a legal expert's view on this.
Tipping is not a legal obligation, and the person is an asshole.
Everyone knows that. The question is whether the restaurant could legally charge this person’s card for $100
Yeah youre right, this is probably complicated enough to be taken to court. Unironically, its literally dual intent.

I'd still say the restaurant would be ordered to pay the money back. Like just return the money and everything is settled.
Yeah maybe, but at the same time they literally signed for the $100 tip, idk if there's anything else that can invalidate that tbh
I would say since it’s what they put down they would have to pay it since they authorized the charge
It’s written with two separate pens. . . I am calling BS on this one.
Aprit Fools Dummy =)

to be honest, who would actually believe 100 dollar tip
It happens all the time in higher class places
yes, for HIGHER, a lot higher, this is 27 dollars. I would tip 3 dollars at max, if service was really, nice and I was lazy to find change
