I work at a restaurant and I got a $40 dollars in tips and 2 hours later customer called back and told my manager she paid to much for the tip and wanted $20 dollars back. does she have the right to take it back?

Once the $$ hits the table and the customer takes even a step away from it, it's yours.
She has no right to ask for it back.
It's also your word against hers, right?
You COULD say that she only left two $1 bills !!
She's crazy.

How's this for the other side of the story. . .perhaps it went like this:
She eats, and then inadvertently lays TWO twenty dollar bills that were 'stuck' together on the table. If her bill for the meal was less than $50.00, then her $40.00 was obviously a mistake. I think you need to tell us the total of her eating/drinking, before we can so quickly say that it was 'your' money. Check out the other facts, eh?
Consider - do you want to have a great reputation with your boss/the customer/and your conscience? Which is better? the money (it is hard earned, I know) or a feeling of having helped a person who made an honest mistake?

Hell no! She has No Right! Was she drinking? This is in very poor taste. I wouldn't feel bad if I were you.
If you know her and she comes in often and leaves you $20 every time you may want to talk to her and give the 20 back. If you have never seen her before or she treats you bad when she is there I'd let her know very quickly that she may not like her next meal as, it could have stuff in it..

Yes, the server makes his/her living on tips, no matter how you pay for it, and therefore you should tip the same as you would if you were paying for dinner yourself. A lot of times you can put the tip on the gift card.

Yes because my dad gave $100 to a waiter and asked for $60 dollars back.So I think it is okay. After they gave him a $30 dollar gift card back to Saltgrass.

I dont think you owe it at all. I dont see how she has the nerve to ask for it back! Thats really sad. If shes that much of a tight wad then she shouldnt have left it in the first place! You keep it no matter what you earned it!

if she personally asks for it back. Give it to her. If not Keep It as a gift. Also could your Manager be trying to con you out of half your tip?.

She has no right to say that it is just like that old saying being a indian giver.That is her,you can't give a tip & come back later n' say you gave to much.You would like the rest back that is just crazy.

it all comes down to whether you think it was an honest mistake on her part or she was just being cheap!!!! or if she got sick from the food and knows you have to TIPOUT and just wanted the restaurant to pay back but not you
