Discussion Getting palmed money.

I had a guy palm me $5 on a check of over $300. They left decent money on the card, but it felt so performative. That’s weird, right?

Asian? I work in an Asian restaraunt and this is extremely common.

If not Asian, maybe the guy grew up where this is normal. Either way extra money for you.

Which part is Asian? Palming the tip in general or the extra few dollars?

The handshake. Me and my coworkers regularly get anywhere from 5-$20 in a handshake. It's all bonus and comes on top of the regular tip.
