Denny’s Discount Tip
A viral post by X user LynnToku (@Im_Just_Lynn) has taken over the timeline after she shared a photo of a receipt from a recent trip to Denny's. According to the post, Lynn told the waiter to "round the total up to $70" to include a generous tip. However, the waiter took things a step further: he applied his own 20% employee discount to the food bill, which lowered the subtotal and effectively transferred that extra money directly into his tip line while keeping the final total at exactly $70.
The "heist" sparked a massive debate about tipping culture, with some praising the server's "hustle" and others worried that the viral proof would lead to his immediate termination for "scamming" the restaurant's bottom line.
