Applebee's huh? Pretty classy... Well for those of you who haven't heard about what went down its actually pretty interesting. So a party came into Applebee's to eat some grub, and because it was a large party, automatic gratuity was added to the bill. Standard 18 percent. In return the buyer paid the money and on top of the receipt wrote "I give God 10% why do you get 18?" The waitress took a picture and posted it on the website reddit.com..... Bad idea.
Because reddit.com is such a huge social media platform that if something interesting is posted, it easily becomes viral. Well this story became viral! All the way until the point where I am writing a blog about it. So why is this such a big story? Well let me tell you.
Turns out, the waitress who posted that picture of the receipt on reddit was eventually fired for doing so because she violated the customer privacy policy, and social media policy of Applebee's. this too me blew my mind!!!! Yes it was wrong gor her to post this online. But it DID NOT violate the privacy of the customer because if you look at the picture of tr receipt, it has no information of the man who wrote the crude comment. Social media is a helpful thing in our world, but some people use it for the wrong purposes and other really are getting hurt.
