Highly doubt the server was being malicious. They aren’t putting that on the receipt. It’s a shitty thing for sure but it’s unlikely that server had anything to do with it.
True but still more likely. These things are built into the POS and it’s unlikely that a server can alter them, and my admittedly limited experience with the industry still convinced me that if you want to find a scumbag in a restaurant it’s 4 times more likely to be management than servers.
For sure, that’s the whole reason for being willing to tip. Employees asre most likely to be scammed and at least tipping makes it right for one subset of those
I don’t care who it is that is defrauding the customers, but somebody is. These numbers don’t “accidentally” go wrong, this is clearly abusive and yes, police would be called over this. I’m sure the server is innocent, but then the restaurant owner isn’t
And they still tipped?
My tip would have been 0 right there and would have included a complaint with police

Then you’re assuming a clear pattern of fraud, not just one server cheating. That’s bigger than just not tipping

I was going to say I would have calculated out and either an even lower option and written it in and then tipped that 😂
