(1,741 posts)What if a server thought a receipt was humorous because the customer made a spelling error in a handwritten note, "Thanks for surving us," or a double entendre "Thanks for servicing me."? What if the server found the receipt humorous because the customer ordered some high-calorie "gutbuster" dish with a heavy dessert but also got a diet coke and a small salad with light dressing? What if a server wanted to shame a customer who left only a 15% tip and was perceived as being too demanding or unfriendly? Actually, that's not too far off from what actually happened. I once forgot to leave a tip and made a special trip back the next day to drop it off. What if the server had published my receipt in the meantime? And what about other workers? What if a supermarket cashier publishes a receipt where someone has bought a lot of junk food using food stamps? Once you say it's ok for workers to violate customer's privacy if the customer "deserves it," you are opening the door to maybe a lot more than you realize.
