A Baton Rouge waitress is behind bars after allegedly changing the tip amount given to her.
According to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, 25-year-old Elizabeth Simmerman, of Baton Rouge, allegedly altered a customer’s bill to refelect a larger tip amount than what was given to her.
The victim contacted authorities and informed them the tip had been changed from $6 to $16 without their consent.
According to deputy reports, there was a 1 added to the tip of the victim’s signature slip. The 3 in the total was marked out and changed to a 4. Deputies say the original total was $38.98 and was altered to $48.98.
Simmerman was interviewed by police and advised of her Miranda rights, in which she stated the only thing she could remember that it was a difficult table. She told authorities she could not remember anything about the tip.
Simmerman was arrested and booked in the parish prison. She was charged with misdemeanor theft and felony access device fraud.

Did they intentionally leave out the name of the restaurant/bar?

The post on the WAFB Facebook page said it was El Paso Mexican Grill on Sherwood. LINK
So she increased the tip from 18% to almost 50% and she thought the customer wouldn't notice?

Are they even sure she was the one who changed it? A lot of restaurants split up tips so the hostess and busboy and cook all get a cut.

so the theft was a misdemeanor, but using a credit card machine to perpetrate the theft was a felony?

Bet that's not a one time thing

Never frick with a credit card amount. Even if the customer doesn't math good.
You know when a good tip is a good tip and when it's a dumb mistake. It's like when somebody's tab is $14..they say "keep it" and you realize they've given you 2 brand new $20s stuck together.
Along these lines - If your server/bartender realizes that you (the customer) has overpaid or made an arithmetic error - You should at the least acknowledge and thank them for catching it (and in the case of a 2 $20s situation... a couple extra bucks to the tip is fair recompense).
I believe in tip karma.
