When dining out, the handling of receipt signatures can cause confusion. Restaurant staff indicate that signing the customer copy rather than the merchant copy is generally acceptable. Experts confirm that as long as there is a signature and the tip is noted, there shouldnât be concern. Many restaurants toss the customer copy if a guest leaves it behind. With the rise of digital payments, signing the merchant copy has become less critical, making the distinction between the two less significant.
As long as the tip is clearly written on it, we're good! If the guest isn't there, then we just throw [the customer copy] away to make sure that it's not tampered with.
It's not something that we traditionally worry about or are concerned about, just as long as there's a signed copy.
Whether or not you sign the merchant copy is largely a moot point because of digital payments; however, it's totally fine to sign the customer copy.
The one thing you should check? Whether you're accidentally taking home the only signed receipt.
