New York diner says he was hit with a ‘frequent non-tipper’ fee. He left a negative tip to cancel it out: ‘I did the math’

A diner in Rochester, New York, says he found an unusual charge on his bill at a restaurant he visits often. A $12.90 fee labeled “frequent non-tipper.” He shared his story in a TikTok video posted by the account @captain.t.roll, which has been viewed nearly 85,000 times.

The man said he regularly eats lunch at The Gilded Oyster, located at 56 Oakwood Ave in Rochester. He said he usually orders the same meal and knows the staff well, but does not normally leave a tip because he does not believe in tipping when he eats out.
