Information. A restaurant owner said that two female employees altered credit card orders to improve their tips over a four-week period. While the officer was there, the two suspects reported for their shift.
After a customer would leave, the suspects would go into the computer and raise the tip amount on the bill, the victim said. The servers denied involvement, but were terminated.
The officers told the owner that victims would need to be established and the investigation would continue. The owner said she expected to hear from the victims in a week.
