Lying is her new life hack

[kcal]

As a bartender, i dont recommend lying. It always comes back. Your coworker might slip up one day "on accident, " or you forget the lie you told. Either way, dont do it.

The other day we went to a restaurant and the waiter was so nice to my kids, made conversation with them, smiled at them, was very helpful with our needs, and he even got them a free ice cream at the end! On top of that, he seemed very genuine in his interactions with them. THAT’S how you get a great tip. No lying needed.

I agree with the title, let's not normalize this.

[chickginger]

Won't it be so hilarious when they come back and ask about your kids and you forget the lies you told?!? People will just lie with no second thought. I guess your integrity is worth nothing?

[Malevolentguppy]

Of course they're an outlier, morals/ethics/integrity is so out of fashion these days.

I can understand her lying more than I can understand how she thinks it's a good idea to brag about it on line.

[Ntmoffi]

Lying to make *MORE* money? Woooaaahhhh nobody does that.

[evozero]

Straight up a fraudster. Men stay very far away from this one.

[Jeffersoniananti-federalist]

Great! I already knew I can't trust anybody, but this makes it even more obvious.

[liannapfister]

I’m not tipping someone more because they said they have kids to support; I’m tipping someone more because their service/conversation was better.

You pay for everything. Every thing you do wrong you pay for. Not talking about afterlife. You will 100% pay for this in real life, eventually. It could get her fired, it could get her acclimated to lying compulsively and punish her eventually. Perhaps later she will meet these people in another social or professional setting and they will ask "how are your kids"? Everything seems cool and fun to "get ahead in your 20s. Then when you hit 30s and 40s, you pay for all of it.

Perhaps she should reflect on her two answers. Perhaps her "its ok ill clean it up" never came across as friendly. Perhaps she should approach each interaction with the fake empathy she emulates with the act she puts on pretending to have kids. She could say "its ok I've dealt with kids" and then make that true. God knows maybe she will actually develop empathy instead of this sociopathic behavior. I can see through people like this instantly, lack of details, spiral into unbelievable nonsense as you appear to ask probing questions. These people think they are clever, but most of us normal people just view them as psychopaths.

I waited tables. I didn’t lie to my guests. I made sure they could TRUST me, and I never brought up my child for monetary gain..
Yes, when I was 37 weeks pregnant I made stupid money😂, but I never purposefully intended for people to feel like they had to pity tip me. (I was 17 at the time😅 so I know I got a lot of those..)
Point is. Honesty is hard to come by now a days, and I preferred to stay genuine with my guests instead of a constant performance to be someone I wasn’t.

This is weird but I witnessed the most awkward, unprofessional behavior from fellow servers when I was in high school, so I'm not surprised. The worst thing I saw was the single moms who cried to customers about not being able to afford diapers, milk, etc, and then went out and partied with their tips. Gross.

[SthefanyeMeazza]

It should be illegal for these businesses to work people for less than the minimum wage regardless.

[SethCorbinMusic]

I lie to my servers, I tell them I left a big cash tip on the table and a busboy came by and took it. I guess she’s cool with this too

[lars]

I won’t tip more for a backstory, and you shouldn’t either. Tipping is meant to reward better service. Tip more if they give you something extra, if they’re exceptionally friendly, or if their backstory is exiting or actually did something for you.
Tipping isn’t charity and they have paying jobs. If you want to do charity, help those who are truly in need.

[iceguy]

One person seats me, another takes my order, yet another brings me my food and then someone new belatedly refills my drink. Who am I tipping and why?

[jonnypeterson]

Dishonesty may earn more money, but it tarnishes the character. Trading honor and integrity for money is not something I recomend.

[villainrack]

I love customer service jobs for that reason, it's straight up reading a person and then just acting exactly how you think they want. I can be timid, outgoing, liberal, conservative, whatever you want. And you'll pay me for my performance

"Like ok I totally found this new life hack, lying!" Sorry not really a "new life hack" the two oldest professions are based on lying.
