Haha - yeah, that's exactly what I thought. If you include a mandatory tip on the bill, does the waiter / waitress expect even more than what I was forced to pay?
And not calling the guy a liar, but I've never seen a restaurant that applies less than 15% (usually 18%) mandatory tip on large groups - so I'm guessing he got closer to $750 than $500 as the mandatory tip.
It's just funny that lots of these "sob stories" from wait staff generally paint them in a negative light as they tend to not fully think though how the story will be perceived. "I got a mandatory $500+ tip and then the guy gave me an extra $2! Can you believe it??"
