‘Don’t get bamboozled’: Woman exposes sneaky restaurant billing scam that could cost you hundreds if you’re not paying attention

A content creator just exposed a major problem with restaurant payment kiosks that could make you pay way more than you should. Kim, who posts videos as @kimexplains_ on TikTok, showed how a restaurant’s digital system tried to charge her almost 50% tip on her meal. This is a serious issue for people who quickly tap and pay without checking the numbers carefully.

According to BroBible, Kim is warning everyone to look closely at the pre-calculated tip options on those touchscreens. Her bill came to $60.50, and normally an 18% tip would be about $11. But the system suggested she pay $29.88 for an 18% tip, which is actually a 49.4% tip on her real bill amount.
