My brother had a strange thing like this happen once. His kid's school held a fundraising auction and he won a gift certificate to this resort/hotel at the beach. So he and his wife went. The certificate covered 2 nights stay and had card with $100 on it that they could use in the restaurant, or for massages etc. They went to dinner one night and the bill came to about $60. He gave the waiter the gift card and intended to give him a tip in cash. When the receipt came back he expected to get the card back with about $40 left on it. Instead, the waiter (who, BTW was terrible) had just went ahead and given himself a $40 tip.
My brother was so pissed he called the manager over and asked if this was normal. The manager saw what happened and asked the waiter who smugly said, "It was a gift card, its not like it is money out of their pocket."
The guy got fired on the spot. I would imagine that wasn't the first time he had done that.
