- After ordering on the Chipotle app a customer got a notification saying they couldn’t give more than half of the order total in tips, according to an appalled diner.
- “Whoa, whoa, whoa. That is mighty generous of you, but tips can’t be more that [sic] 50 per cent of your food’s total,” the misspelled popup message pointed out.
- “Well we can’t have the peasant making any extra money that the company isn’t!” one Redditor wrote sardonically.

“Well we can’t have the peasant making any extra money that the company isn’t!” one wrote sardonically….”
