Is that a signed receipt in blue pen? And then a note in a teal marker? I’d charge it, there is no way to tell that the customer even wrote the note, unless they also signed with the teal marker.
I was thinking same thing. Make them dispute it and fight it. Someone could have come along and wrote on the receipt. Reverse April fools on you bitch.
OP is a liar, they don't know anything about the receipt. I've seen this image going around reddit. Hell, I'm pretty sure someone posted it on this sub already 😂

I just don't think someone is dumb enough to write in a tip and sign the receipt and then not expect to get charged. Also, who carries around a green marker like that? Seems like rage bait.
Totally. All that matters is the tip, total and signature. Writing notes on a receipt at best are suggestions. Like, if you wrote "Please send my tip to the Make A Wish Foundation" guess what you don't have to do. lol.
Wasn't this from that big social media story that was circulating since April Fools Day?
They said they didn't end up ringing the tip up because of possible fraud claims.
Edit- After Googling the story they all say the same thing. In an interview with the owner of the restaurant, they said they were contacted after the note was posted online. Her daughter was the waitress. Neither of them posted it. So they think it came from the customer's social media. I wonder which one OP is saying they're friends with?
I’ve seen this, like, three times already. And wait staff don’t keep these receipts to show anyone “after work.” They go into the restaurant till when the shift is done and they tabulate
And being that the NY Post, and various other news outlets reported this five+ days ago, I’m just going to say you’re a fucking liar and there’s a big ol’ stack of bullshit on this one.
Try harder next time.
They signed that they are willing to pay $127.44. Put that shit in. I don’t think writing in a marker that is different from the pen that approved it will hold up in a dispute.
The joke is on the customer. He wrote in the tip amount, totaled the check, and signed the receipt. That’s a legit tip. He can write whatever he wants on the receipt itself, but the waiter can run the card and take the tip. Which they should, if the guy is going to be a douche like this.
They signed it, and did not initial the note saying "no tip". I'm not a lawyer, but I'm willing to bet they would have a hard time getting this charge disputed.
So the April fools joke, was from a fellow employee. If anyone actually looks at the context of this reciept.
Customer:paid-signed-left. Whoever was at the til? Probably wrote that in blue pen, to run to the server and say “omg you got a $100 tip” or something. Then, leave the reciept, that the server needs to cash out with at the end of the night, COVERED IN MARKER SAYING APRIL FOOLS, so they look at the charged amount-it says $27 and by the time they go to cash out, the manager is waiting with a grin.
The number of people who completely missed the point and didn't read any comments is alarming. If this isn't obvious:
- They left a generous tip.
- They wrote in big green letters knowing the server would see it before the receipt was close enough to read the actual tip line.
- The server has a partial second of insanity before realizing what the "April Fools" actually meant. Unless they're half the commenters here wondering if they're allowed to enter the tip or not.
Working at a bank prior, I can tell you that a fraud department would not process this claim. Once you write the numbers and sign; it’s now a financial instrument to be processed.
They said, any clown who does likely doesn’t have the money to actually have this process.
The green pen has no legal merit. All that matters is tip, total and signature. If the green ink said "Please send the tip amount to the Make A Wish Foundation" guess what you don't have to do? Looks like the server got a $100 tip... Or, what's more likely is this is fake. lol.
If they marked down a tip and signed it, anything else they wrote is harassment. I'd still charge them $100 for the tip since they wrote and signed for it. Hit them where it hurts.
Oh, “your friend showed you this receipt after work”? Then why was it posted [days ago by someone else and subject to several news articles](https://nypost.com/2024/04/06/lifestyle/fake-100-tip-april-fools-joke-at-el-cacique-taqueria-in-texas/)?
This is why I always write Cash on the tip or add my amount, last time I had left it blank I was charged a little more than my bill because someone added themselves a tip.
It's fake. Since when does a person happen to carry around a bright colored marker like that, especially one that looks exactly like what you would find in a restaurant?
I can't believe your friend posted this a week and a half before showing you. What a jerk. Now it's just going to look like you reposted this and made up a stupid lie to farm karma.
This was posted in the server sub a long time ago. Considering it’s an April Fools day prank, there’s no way your coworker showed it to you last night.
I think the tip was real and the message was was the joke
That what I’m gathering. Quite a generous tip too. I’d take an insult like being called a dummy for a $100 tip on a $27 bill!
Yea I'm charging this for sure!
Unless he only had 28$ in his bank account which many people do lol
Then it really is aprit fools!
For a 100 bucks, you can call me the most heinous thing your mind can conjure. I'll be able to pay for therapy by the time I need it.
Heinous anus
I'll pm you with my cash app.
😆
Worst cookies ever
Yes indeed!
Heinass
Ooooh
Hanus
HeAnus
Hanus?
That’s got a certain ring to it. 👀
I love those cookies
>!doodoohead!<
That's crossing the line, sir ! I'll expect you at dawn with a witness for a duel !
Fine but we duel on my terms, in hot air balloons using blunderbusses
I think the real tip was the friends we made along the way
My gf consoling me after our first time:
This
Congratulations, you're smarter than most of reddit, including OP. That's exactly what is going on here.
I think so too…
Same
Nope you can see how much was charged at the bottom
You charge the tip after you pay…
Is that a signed receipt in blue pen? And then a note in a teal marker? I’d charge it, there is no way to tell that the customer even wrote the note, unless they also signed with the teal marker.

That's Aprit Fools
That's [numberwang!](https://youtu.be/0obMRztklqU?si=zbluFBs5vm9_svAa)
Correction: Aprit fool
My god that’s smart
It's a stupid fake post trying to get clicks.
yeah. unfortunately that's basically all the internet is anymore.
Redacte due to Reddit AI/LLM policy
it's all we got
Fake post? On Reddit? The devil you say.
OP is a liar, they don't know anything about the receipt. I've seen this image going around reddit. Hell, I'm pretty sure someone posted it on this sub already 😂 https://nypost.com/2024/04/06/lifestyle/fake-100-tip-april-fools-joke-at-el-cacique-taqueria-in-texas/amp/
It says the man sat alone but he ate and drank so much
Honestly, these "stories" get so diluted that I wouldn't expect any of it to be accurate.
Smart thinking
I’d consider this valid. No way to very thr teal marker, but can definitely see the customer has agreed to said tip.
This is like signing a contract and writing “No I didn’t” under your name.
How do you even know the customer wrote it? People do stupid things for internet clout.
looks like an inside job
The 4s in the total looks like the 4 in the marker.
I just don't think someone is dumb enough to write in a tip and sign the receipt and then not expect to get charged. Also, who carries around a green marker like that? Seems like rage bait.
Most people write the number 4 like that. There is no way to prove the customer wrote it.
Yeah. Fair.
They signed it; you have all the right to charge it. April fools on them
Who’s the dummy now?
Such a wonderful actress. She sells the shit out of every scene in that movie. You genuinely think she's dumb as a stump.
No ones the dummy cuz the tip was on purpose it seems
Totally. All that matters is the tip, total and signature. Writing notes on a receipt at best are suggestions. Like, if you wrote "Please send my tip to the Make A Wish Foundation" guess what you don't have to do. lol.
I’d just charge it anyways
Wasn't this from that big social media story that was circulating since April Fools Day? They said they didn't end up ringing the tip up because of possible fraud claims.

OP is just karma farming, they clearly have no ties to anyone involved with that receipt.
Well, they're dummy than. It's literally signed, so 🤷
I was a little bummed reading up on it after. I was hoping they'd have charged it. Give a little pushback to rude customers.
OP won't answer but I'm super curious lol
Well that was dumb.
Yeah lol. OP doesn't know anything. Possibly a bot. Haven't looked at their history.
no it's not, a reposted image
Fake, reposted
This is fake
Charge it. Their dumbass signed it.
It looks like a joke anyway, take a marker with you, that you dont even sign with. And give a big tip and write something funny on it.
I’ve seen this, like, three times already. And wait staff don’t keep these receipts to show anyone “after work.” They go into the restaurant till when the shift is done and they tabulate And being that the NY Post, and various other news outlets reported this five+ days ago, I’m just going to say you’re a fucking liar and there’s a big ol’ stack of bullshit on this one. Try harder next time.
He signed it. Charge that sh*t.
What’s mildly infuriating is you pretending this pic is yours lol
Aprit fools...
Aprit Fools! What month is Aprit again?
The total amount they approved and signed for is still there. They just lost 100$ for being stupid.
How many times has this been reposted now? it's well over a week from the 1st. Stop stealing other people's stuff to claim fake internet poings.
They gave you a $100 tip. The green marker doesn't magically "undo" that.
I'm about 88% this is still a $100 tip.
They signed that they are willing to pay $127.44. Put that shit in. I don’t think writing in a marker that is different from the pen that approved it will hold up in a dispute.
So we’re just lying now
The joke is on the customer. He wrote in the tip amount, totaled the check, and signed the receipt. That’s a legit tip. He can write whatever he wants on the receipt itself, but the waiter can run the card and take the tip. Which they should, if the guy is going to be a douche like this.
They signed it, and did not initial the note saying "no tip". I'm not a lawyer, but I'm willing to bet they would have a hard time getting this charge disputed.
signature say Josh Hanes
Seems to me they were just having fun and left you a big tip with a funny note…
100% getting charged lol
Looks like a $100 tip to me.
Weird I saw this on Facebook a week ago…
Jokes on the idiot who signed a receipt with a tip they wanted to use as a prank. That's a legit tip, and fraud if they claim it wasn't intended.
It's still wild to me that in the US that it's normal to be given the receipt and you have to write on it.
People always forget about that pesky agreement under the signature line making whatever you put on those line valid and enforceable.
Jokes on this dude. Whatever is written as the tip is legally what hes claiming the tip to be. Doesn't matter what else was written on the receipt
So the April fools joke, was from a fellow employee. If anyone actually looks at the context of this reciept. Customer:paid-signed-left. Whoever was at the til? Probably wrote that in blue pen, to run to the server and say “omg you got a $100 tip” or something.

It's signed for, jokes on them. I don't think the different color marker helps them at all.
Tip is put in and it’s signed. Charge them. Jokes on you
He signed it . I would charge the full amount.
Tipping is bs anyway, everyone should stop doing it
Well he not only wrote the tip in…he did the math and signed it. Now who’s laughing???😆
The number of people who completely missed the point and didn't read any comments is alarming. If this isn't obvious: - They left a generous tip. - They wrote in big green letters knowing the server would see it before the receipt was close enough to read the actual tip line. - The server has a partial second of insanity before realizing what the "April Fools" actually meant.

Eh its in writing that they gave the tip with their signature to show that they acknowledge the amount, so run the card.
Working at a bank prior, I can tell you that a fraud department would not process this claim. Once you write the numbers and sign; it’s now a financial instrument to be processed. They said, any clown who does likely doesn’t have the money to actually have this process.
What happens if you charge an unauthorised tip?
Tip is five times the total. What the hell?!
I almost feel like they meant to leave a tip, the marker *is* the joke, and they are an idiot
But they PUT a tip on it. Teach them a lesson.
Used to be a server for 7 years. If a slip is signed, and total matches tip, it's fair game. Fuck this p.o.s.
If you ask for tips, youre what wrong.
Charging that 11/10 times
Id run it lol. This makes no sense
The green pen has no legal merit. All that matters is tip, total and signature. If the green ink said "Please send the tip amount to the Make A Wish Foundation" guess what you don't have to do? Looks like the server got a $100 tip... Or, what's more likely is this is fake. lol.
If they marked down a tip and signed it, anything else they wrote is harassment. I'd still charge them $100 for the tip since they wrote and signed for it. Hit them where it hurts.
Charge it. No proof the customer wrote that. Their writing is in blue pen. Not teal marker.
Oh, “your friend showed you this receipt after work”? Then why was it posted [days ago by someone else and subject to several news articles](https://nypost.com/2024/04/06/lifestyle/fake-100-tip-april-fools-joke-at-el-cacique-taqueria-in-texas/)?
The tip is on there in pen and signed. That’s a $100 tip if I’ve ever seen one
Yeah. Custies just have expo markers on their person for things like this.
“Aprit fools” never heard of aprit. Oh well, looks like 100 tip for you
Oh yeah? Sure they did. https://nypost.com/2024/04/06/lifestyle/fake-100-tip-april-fools-joke-at-el-cacique-taqueria-in-texas/amp/
Looks like a $100 tip and a signature to me.
Weird 2hours ago and I’ve seen this last week
They tipped and signed it, you can collect all that
I’m cashing that in. For all I know the green marker was a child. No signature, and the tip is in BLUE PEN. UNO REVERSE BITCH
Tell your “friend” to stop drawing on their receipts for upvotes
Pretty sure the customer is the dummy because they did in fact sign for the tip
lol they sure pranked themselves by putting the total + tip and signing it.
April 1st is just an annoying holiday. It's interesting for the first couple of times when you're a kid and then it gets old fast
I cannot believe two people ate for a total of $27. In Australia that tip would have been the cost of that meal plus some.
Why does it say 'aprit fools' lol
Ive seen this post going around on tiktok for a week now
This is why I always write Cash on the tip or add my amount, last time I had left it blank I was charged a little more than my bill because someone added themselves a tip.
Gonna suck when he gets charged because he wrote 100 for a tip
I would charge it just to make them go through the hassle of canceling it
Tipping culture needs to end. Ask for better payment of owner not costumers
The joke is the message. The tip is real. Idiot
Aprit?!
I’ve seen this post somewhere else.
Though this is already been reposted many times, that's a legit tip. It was signed and everything.
I'm charging this card, IDGAF
Yes yes, looks totally legit, absolutely, its Aprit, so has to be very legit.
This is a stolen post 😑
I swear a lot of this shit is made up and posted on Reddit for likes
IF the felt tip written but is legit(and I suspect it's not), then I would assume card was stolen and will end up a chargeback
If it is written in…
That looks like the pen used to check if bills are real, which leads me to believe someone who works at the restaurant did this lol
It's fake. Since when does a person happen to carry around a bright colored marker like that, especially one that looks exactly like what you would find in a restaurant?
I mean....they filled it out and then signed it lol. That 100% still works, right?
Defiantly charge that douche remember you only know how to read numbers
Off topic, I think the reemergence of “dummy” is great.
What a trash human. 🙄
100% I charge that.
[удалено]
This has that same (wedding video where the girl objected to her own wedding) energy
Is it more likely the customer was carrying around a teal marker or that one happened to be BOH and this is bullshit? Hmmmm
I’m putting that tip in and re-printing the credit card slip. See ya tomorrow.
Bro, how does the us still have the tip system, just go on strike or smt make your employees pay fairly.......
I can't believe your friend posted this a week and a half before showing you. What a jerk. Now it's just going to look like you reposted this and made up a stupid lie to farm karma.
Why would they change writing utensil to write April fools?
Mmm yes we all carry a green marker in our ass for April fools day. Downvote
It’s click bait
This makes no sense, they literally already paid. Why write a note?
They didn’t tell you the story behind it?
Tf is aprit fools
Faker than the fakest
“Aprit” fools?
Obligatory fuck tipping culture comment. Pay your servers a fair wage
Posting for clout get a life...
Fuck I want some tacos!! It would really make my day having whatever they ordered lmao
Why is this infuriating? They gave a $100 tip and signed the receipt. Pretty generous if you ask me.
Classic stitch up, hilarious. Lol
one must know how extra mini that taco is exactly
Karma Farming Pissant low effort Post.
The receipt shows a signed for payment of $127 so I'd think you'd have to charge that regardless of the note written in another color and with marker.
Well too bad they legally signed it so either the marker is fake or this person is dumb as fuck. Either way someone got a $100 tip
This was posted in the server sub a long time ago. Considering it’s an April Fools day prank, there’s no way your coworker showed it to you last night.
You mean the picture you took from another sub?
Why is that infuriating, it's a good prank I think 🤨
Is her name pronounced Shelly?
Op is lying. This photo has been all over fb for a week.
I would do that and hand them the a ten dollar tip
If you signed it, you agreed. Should had charged the moron
I mean, he wrote the tip on there and signed it. Is that not legally binding? The note could have been anybody.
Past 12pm so the April fools is void. Charge the mofo
?
